My Favorite Designer

One of my favorite knitting designers is Kim Hargreaves. She used to be one of designer in Rowan Knitting Magazine.

Kim in the end decided to left Rowan after 20 years become a key performer in that magazine. After she left a lot of the reader think that the magazine is not as good as it used to be.

That complain is without no reason, since Kim had managed the Rowan brand; creating hundreds of individual designs; selecting new yarn colors; master-minding the fashion stories for the magazines and styling the photographs that would inspire so many people to knit with style.

Now she has opened her own business, she is selling the knitting kit, the pattern plus the yarn. The picture on the side is one of the sample of her kit. Recently she also published her own books.

I think her designs have a timeless, elegant, and sophisticated look that very rarely can be found in other designer.
