I recently finished this Kate Davies design from her Colours of Shetland book. I found it quite difficult. I think it was probably just me, but the side shaping instructions were quite tricky to follow and stranding the colours behind the stripes got into a real mess. So this has involved a lot of fudging and changes and I changed the top of it completely to be plain grey.
But I'm pretty happy with it now that it's finished and it fits really well. It's inspired by a lighthouse; the flashes of yellow are the flashes of the beam as it turns around. The colours are also quite 1930s, so all in all a bit Virginia Woolf. It also keeps up the theme of looking for light in the dark.
It's lovely and fits beautifully - I'm very impressed with the colour-work!
