My Crow Steps cap-sleeve top is in this month's
Knitter Magazine! I'm delighted that my textured cable top is amongst the gorgeous designs that are all part of Issue 143. Crow Steps is inspired by distinctive architectural features of roof tops in the Belgian City of Ghent.

The beautiful yarn I chose for this project is
Kate Davies Designs (KDD) Àrd Thìr in the lovely shade of Veyatie. This yarn was fantastic to work with and is perfect for my cabled and textured stitch pattern. It is a blend of Peruvian highland wool and alpaca and is produced by
Fyberspates in collaboration with KDD.

In this issue of the Knitter, you can also read part 2 of my three-part series of design articles. Titled "Notes from my Sketchbook", each article explores one of my stitch patterns, beginning with the inspiration and describing the design development all the way through to the charted design. Part 1 looked at pattern development inspired by tram tracks and this month's article is all about my Crow Steps stitch pattern. At the end of each article I have included suggestions about how knitters can customise the stitch pattern and I can't wait to see some new design variations!
