Sakura / / New knitting pattern.
Inspiration can come from a multitude of places and for this project it was the meeting of a feeling and the finding of a wonderful yarn. This year marked my first winter living in Sweden and even though I love the snow and cold I was more than usually excited about the arrival of spring! That moment when you first notice the buds on the trees and then before you know it the first flowers are popping up and the world becomes full of colour and beautiful textures. I also had not realised how much I would miss the feeling of a warm breeze on my skin after months of being bundled up in winter clothing and immediately wanted to knit a strappy top!! I stumbled upon the gorgeous Lingarn by Växbo Lin in a yarn shop while on holiday and it has been waiting for the perfect project. It is a stunning, fine linen yarn that comes in a multitude of wonderful colours. It knits up slowly on 2mm/ US 0 needles but its beautiful drape and stitch definition make it well
