High Summer

How quickly summer seems to be passing this year! I think it’s largely to do with the endless sunny days we are having. I hope you’ve managed to make the most of the season so far.

I’ve spend time in the garden finishing my Flower Power Cardi, featuring 3D flowers down the spine and some neon flashes which elevate the traditional hexagon cardigan design to festival ready status – understated and subtle it is not!

I’m trying to live in the moment more, but I’m clearly not succeeding on all fronts as I’ve already started thinking about Christmas, and wouldn’t some gingerbread people bunting be nice? Sorry about that; I’ll let you get back to the business of summer!

Until next time,

Anne-Louise
