Siesta

This pattern is knit from Debbie Bliss ‘Prima’ which is really beautiful to knit with (even it it does have a few knots in the balls!).  It’s a top down raglan with a cable detail running down the neck and front and has waist shaping.  I knit this when I was visiting my in-laws in Sarasota last Christmas, the photos were taken on ‘Siesta Key’ – hence the name ‘Siesta’.  Not very inventive I know but it does evoke happy memories for me!

There are some wonderful patterns in this issue, I’m especially fond of Emma by Janine Le Cras.  Having recently begun knitting with laceweight yarn I’m in awe of her knitting a full cardigan in laceweight!

I don’t have time to add them now, but I have got some more photos to show you later from ‘Knitting in the Sun’ which is now in the shops!
