“MY ‘CROW Steps’ design was inspired
by a distinctive architectural feature
found in the city of Ghent, Belgium,”
says Emma Vining. “Crow steps form
the edges of triangular building gable
fronts, and how I developed this stitch
pattern is the subject of my article on
page 56 of this issue. For this sweater,
I h ave e x te n d e d my or i g i n a l d e si g n i nto
a bold textured cable panel knitted in
Kate Davies’ beautiful Àrd Thìr yarn.”
