KETCH HARBOUR
KETCH HARBOUR
Fiona Alice published her first knitting book, Take Heart: A Transatlantic Knitting Journey, with Pom Pom Press in 2015. Those patterns are now slowly becoming available as individual downloads for the first time.
“Like Three Cliffs, this piece plays with negative space, using sections of lace to interrupt the ribbed border. A classic surface of alternating knits and purls make up the majority of the body, while raised lines carve out an image of a whale’s tail when you drape it across your back. The whale tail motif emerged as I worked through several sketches before choosing a final design.” - Excerpt from Take Heart.
