Carina Spencer already had a career–as a personal chef specializing in natural foods–when the knitwear design bug bit her. She’s also a mother, which I’m sure inspired many of her lovely designs for babies and children. And there’s no question that she has an incredible sense of style, fiber, and color.
We’re delighted to be hosting a trunk show of Carina’s patterns in our LA store. Come try on Catkin, as I did (mine is still on the needles and sadly neglected for baby knitting), see Whippoorwill (shown above) with Liz’s lovely blue version (and mine in aqua until I remember to bring it home!), as well as her gorgeous baby items, like the Gift Wrap Bonnet, pictured here.
The biggest surprise for me is how much I love Scalene. It wasn’t really on my radar until I tried on the sample. Now it’s calling to me to knit one for myself!
We have to return the samples to Carina by mid-month, so hurry over to the shop if you’re in the neighborhood. You may find that you just have to knit one (or more) of Carinas lovely patterns.
Happy Knitting!
