“THIS SWEATER was inspired by architectural features from the City of London,” says Emma Vining. “Using bold cable patterning with the beautiful Wild Shetland yarn creates a knitted fabric which showcases the gorgeous roving-style wool. I particularly love the way the pattern blurs within the colour variation of the yarn.” The lower section of Emma’s sweater design has a textured triangular cable pattern; long lines of cables emerge from these triangles and form the upper body pattern.

JO STORIE created our ‘Alnwick’ sweater pattern on page 36, and the design perfectly showcases her signature style – timeless, easy-to-wear and flattering. Jo is also the woman behind the BareFaced yarn brand, which specialises in luxurious British fibres. We caught up with Jo to find out how she became an independent designer, and why she set up her own yarn brand. When did you learn to knit? “I was about six or seven years old. My Nana taught me to knit, then the Brownies refined my skills, and I remember getting a craft badge for knitting a doll.” Can you remember the first original piece of knitwear you ever created? “Well the doll wasn’t actually an original (although it did look pretty special from memory!). I became a professional…

IN THE summer of 1939, with the threat of war looming, the Women’s Land Army - first around during the First World War - was reformed. By 1945, the WLA had grown to 80,000 members, both conscripts and volunteers. The ‘Land Girls’ were not a military service, so uniform wasn’t mandatory. Women were issued with: “…1 pair of corduroy jodhpurs 2 white collared [fawn] shirts 1 green pullover 1 coat, 2 pairs knee socks, 1 pr lace up shoes,… 1 pair lace up boots, we supplied our own underwear, our wages were 17-/ weekly and 10-/ was for food (and board)…” [FROM A LETTER DONATED TO THE WLA PROJECT, YORKSHIRE MUSEUM OF FARMING] Land Girls wore both standard-issue and home-made jumpers. As Margaret Murray and Jane Koster advised in their…

JENNIE ATKINSON’S ‘Ennerdale’ cardigan uses Lore, a much-loved yarn from The Fibre Co. It’s a lambswool that is ideal for a vintage-style design like Jennie’s – and indeed, the yarn was developed as a way to evoke memories of classic knits from the past. “Lore was inspired by an afternoon spent taking apart an old sweater that was knitted in the 1980s, and reassembling it to suit our founder Daphne Marinopoulos’ style now,” explains Clare Mountain-Manipon, brand marketing manager for The Fibre Co. “Throughout the hours she spent re-engineering this sweater, Daphne couldn’t help but reflect on the memories knitted into that sweater: the person she bought the yarn for, the reason why she chose to knit something for herself instead, and the friend who told her not to knit…
