    “THIS VINTAGE-INSPIRED design has a petite shawl collar,” says Francesca Hughes. “A stripe and colourwork strip is worked from the right cuff, all the way over the shoulders and neck to the left cuff. The length can be easily modified to create an androgynous piece. It’s designed to be worn with 5-20cm (2in-8in) of positive ease. The colour combination and the name of this jumper are based on the stunning artwork Nuit Blanche by Jean Lurçat.”

    A Knitter’s Life
    I’ve been thoroughly enjoying making Sarah Hatton’s ‘Fritillary’ sleeveless jumper from The Knitter issue 179. There’s a nice little cable panel on the front to keep things interesting, and I’m using Debbie Bliss’s Erin Tweed yarn, which is incredibl
