Just in time for the light-filled days and lightweight knitting of spring, we proudly announce a breath of fresh air.
For this Field Guide, we invited Amy Christoffers, one of the most agile designers we know, to explore the idea of transparency. We encouraged her to go beyond the obvious transparency of lace knitting. The projects in this little book are Amy’s graceful response to our invitation.
The result? Wearable, gift-able, portable projects that you can carry around with you and knit, knit, knit.
Albers Shawl: An airy shawl with “windows” of color that form effortlessly. The ideal travel wrap that is a joy to wear, on planes and trains, at the beach, and in air-conditioned offices all over the world.Cockleshell Cardigan: A baby sweater (because who meets the world with more honesty and transparency than a baby?) with just a touch of lace and an unusual yet plainly apparent construction.
Shakerag Top: A lightweight tee in a fabric that is striped, yet uses only one color of yarn. This is the layering piece we want to wear this summer.
Peek-Through Cowl/Scarf: A layering of lace that both reveals and obscures the pattern, and is an amusingly tricky knit.
The print edition includes a free digital download at Ravelry—your unique download code is on the inside back cover.
