This week I am bringing you not one pattern but a whole book, and with it a designer. Since I said out loud about a designer that I do not particularly care for I have been asked, then who are those designers I like or even admire.
So, let me give you: Kate Davies. I follow Kate since I had regular Internet, and always admired her patterns.
I've knitted her Owl sweater at least three times, her Peerie flowers and Sheepheid beanies many times over among others.
Yes, her patterns are rather colorful, and the photographs of her stuff is always esquisite, and even her "simpler" pieces have something extra, something interesting in them.
I have a couple of her books, and the Yokes is my favorite. I have yarns (and plans) for at least three of the patterns in the book, and I can imagine wearing each and every one.
If there is one tiny complaint I could have, is that Kate prefers the bottom up method, even for round / raglan yokes, But I can live with that.
