The Classic Collection

To complement ‘My Life In Textiles’ exhibition I have written a new book of knitting patterns, The Classic Collection – four decades of hand-knit design, published in May 2011.

It has been great fun taking iconic designs from 1969 onwards and making a selection of timeless, wearable hand-knits that I hope will continue on into the next decade to be long term favourites!

Some of the early designs such as Scotty, Prowling Cat, Mosaic and Navy spot are knitted using the original 4-ply Shetland wool, which is still being spun 40 years later by Jamieson and Smith in the Shetland Islands. Other designs have been re-worked and take advantage of the new soft luxury fibres produced by Rowan Yarns, such as Kid Classic, Siena 4-ply cotton and Silky Wool DK. Together with the patterns, I have commissioned essays from leading industry professionals, which not only make interesting reading, but puts the designs in a historical and cultural context for all you fibre fans. I am already taking orders for advance copies of this new book, so do use the order form to secure your own copy.

Four decades of classic knitwear design.

Pattern, colour and texture are key to my creative process and my exhibition ‘My Life in Textiles’ reflects the importance of these elements in my work over the last four decades.

This 8-page catalogue was produced to accompany the exhibition.
