We are delighted to finally announce the release of the Blink printed pattern  and downloadable PDF. We know many of you have been waiting keenly.
Our Blink kits were a huge success at EYF and so we have decided to make four new versions available through our shop.
We catch up with Ragnhild to ask her about her experience designing Blink for us, and announce a Blink Knit-Along.

We asked Ragnhild about her experience designing Blink for us:
“I have been knitting since I was 5 years old.  I love knitting – when I first visited Loop, many years ago, I was in heaven!  This was a completely different kind of yarn shop!  So inspiring. Since then, every time I have been to London,  I have to visit!  It’s become one of those places I have to see again and again, which never fails to inspire.
“Knitting is an addiction and being able to make my own designs has been a wish for many years. Â When Susan saw the sweater I was wearing and asked to publish it I was so excited! It was like a dream come true.
“And not only did I get to be the designer – but Susan asked me to model at the photo shoot. Â Â I said yes since I have a motto: Chances – take them like vitamins.
“I was very nervous and excited. I was asked to meet at The Flower Factory (Kristin’s studio) at Colombia Road. This was another gem! Â The photographer Kristin Perers has a beautiful studio. The warm and welcoming atmosphere created by Susan and Kristin made me relax and it was a lovely experience.”

Our first kits used the zingy Ito Sensai mohair, worked together with the Isager Japansk Cotton. We love the 25 vibrant colours of Ito Sensai mohair and can imagine so many other beautiful pairings.
We now have just two of the original  Blink kits with Ito Mohair still in stock in Pop Pink and Bordeaux. We’re more than happy though to help you put together something like the other originals or another great colour combination.
We have added another kit possibility to our initial offerings. We love the fluffier, more muted colours of Isager mohair. There are 17 colours designed to complement the Isager palette.
