Kate Harvie’s Harvest Festival Vest

I met Kate Harvie, a knitting designer, while running #WoolHour over on Twitter (yes, I still refuse to call it X!).

Kate was inspired by my Leaf Litter colourway on the DK 40% Bluefaced Leicester, 40% Shetland, 20% Alpaca base and says:

“When I first saw this beautiful autumnal yarn I imagined a tank top with large, soft cables. Here it is. The cables remind me of the bread plaits we used to make for Harvest Festival when I was a child by plaiting together three long sausages of dough. When the bread rose, the plaits were still there but they had all mingled together.”

While Leaf Litter was a seasonal colourway, I’ve re-enabled orders of it for the release of this pattern, in case anybody wants to knit Kate’s vest in the original colour. You can find the pattern here on Ravelry.
