“When swatching design ideas for this collection I found myself drawn to lace and cable combinations again and again. I love the juxtaposition of heavier horseshoe cables with columns of eyelets; the fabric has textural appeal but remains light and open. I chose to work the sleeves simply in reverse stockinette to balance the more intricate body fabric. The yoke hybridizes elements from both the raglan and the saddle-shoulder, adding a modern twist to the classic knitted jumper.” – Jared Flood
