Midnight Sun KIT
From € 38,35
After our happy collaboration on the Swimming Pool shawl, Kieran Foley surprised me with yet another stunning design with my Love Story yarn! Midnight Sun is a light, bright crescent featuring two Shetland stitch patterns and narrow bands of stocking stitch. Clear and colored beads add sparkles of light. It couldn’t be more appropriate for Iceland where the sun never goes below the horizon during the summer months!
The kit contains 3 skeins of Love Story yarn and a project bag, but not the beads.
Wool KIT + optional pattern PDF (in English, French and Icelandic)
The pattern alone is also available here

DESIGNER: Kieran Foley from Knit/Lab
“I loved color and pattern as a child, and spent a lot of time doodling, drawing, and painting. I learned stranded knitting at home at an early age and went on to study textile design at the National College of Art in Dublin, Ireland (1983-87). At the time students were encouraged to keep a notebook to sketch ideas, and to collect postcards and cuttings for inspiration.”
We had been collaborating on the Swimming Pool shawl with my Love Story yarn, when Kieran completely surprised me by revisiting an older design of his with my Love Story yarn. The result is stunning and Midnight Sun couldn’t be more appropriate for Iceland. I look forward to wearing this shawl under the Icelandic midnight sun, indeed, this summer!
