My new sweater design, Taro, is in this month's issue of the Knitter Magazine! Taro is part of a beautiful collection of garments called "Light and Shade". Knitted in John Arbon Knit by Numbers DK yarn, Taro has a black and white stranded pattern border and a textured upper body pattern. The drop sleeves have the stranded border at the cuffs and the textured pattern on the upper sleeve. The textured pattern is a continuation of the diamonds and diagonal lines featured in the two colour stranded pattern. You can read more about this lovely issue of the Knitter Magazine over on the
Yarn Loop website.

I took the last photo when Taro was still in several pieces on my blocking board. The right side and wrong side of the stranded pattern look great together and I love the way the textured pattern picks up the diamonds and diagonals. This was one of the images I shared on Instagram during September for
#septtextilelove, a fun challenge organised by
Seam Collective. There are some really beautiful posts by some very talented people, so if you get a chance please do take a look!
