Dark Light

Knitting • £5

The time at which something is at its most powerful or successful.

The soft curve of a perfect, half-pi shawl. A delicate, dainty duck egg colour. Carefully pre- strung beads. Tiny, intricate stitches, creating a sea of stockinette. A brand new stitch that combines slipping, cables, and beads for a twinkling, quilted effect.

Zenith is the result of attention to detail, familiarity, and the challenge of something new coming together to create something deceptively simple; soft, light, and airy.

Zenith is a challenge in that it asks that you learn a brand new stitch in order to knit it, but is also made up of familiar stockinette stitch, making it an accessible challenge which, once met, will showcase your handiwork as perfectly on a summer’s day as a colder winter one.
