I love these two colours from New Lanark, they manage to be both zingy and soft at the same time. Inspired by the name (the orange one is called "Clementine") and the fact that the blue looks just like those cardboard trays that fruit is stacked on at markets, I just had to do something a bit fruit-based, which is where Clementini came from.
So it's a more or less straightforward intarsia design, but knitted over a very broad rib to give it some texture. The kit is available to order now online at www.calknits.co.uk , with refill packs available too. I can also supply finished cushions, but there will be a bit of a delay as these will be knitted to order.
Somewhat satisfyingly, when I came inside, I noticed that the colours match my kitchen perfectly....!
