I’m currently working on a store sample for Black Sheep Yarns. We want to showcase how Arbor knits up and so we picked out a small(ish) pattern to finish and display in store.
The pattern choice that made the cut was High Pines, a textured cowl designed by Jared Flood.
If you’re familiar with Jared’s work you will know that his patterns have unusual techniques and the design is often quite intricate. The end result though, is always stunning. High Pines is no exception. The pattern is constantly ‘moving’. It is charted so you really have to pay attention to the tiny boxes on the grid.
Knitters, if you love an interesting pattern and don’t mind working off a chart, then add this to your Ravelry queue!
High Pines is not your usual zen project. Every round is different from the previous one. The payoff for razor sharp creative focus, is texture, texture, texture!
