Andrew Yates
As I’m ill off work today I thought I’d take the time to update this place. So..the following work is by another one of my work mates, this time it’s Andrew Yates. He graduated from Central Saint Martins back in 2008 and went on to work in Australia up until about June this year.
He worked for Purl Harbour ( http://www.purlharbour.com.au/) famous for its ready made/custom made knitted garments and also Adettes. The work on this page are his designs for Adettes (http://adettes.com) which are basically conceptual hand knits that you can knit yourself. The website is work in progress at the moment but I think the idea is that these designs come in packs with the pattern and wool ready to go.
Andrew is now back in London working for Mark Fast. To see his graduate collection go here: http://www.catwalking.com/GRADUATES/GRAD_08/BA_shows/shows/CSM/shows/14-Andrew-Yates/index.html

Problems/ Amazing Waistcoat
Yeah I know, I haven’t updated this for aaages. I’m trying to sort out and update the whole blog but keep running into problems….but hopefully I’ll have it sorted before new year.
This is going to be a short post, I just had to share this waistcoat with you all. It was made by one of my friends at work, Emilia Pancheri for her aunts birthday. She was all embarrassed about showing us it but I totally love it.

Cooperative- Designs spring summer 2010
I bought knitkicks.com last night …but I can’t actually remember how much I paid as I bought it in a really tired crazed state of mind. I clearly clicked something completely wrong in the process of buying the website name, as I got a bunch of emails from the company about fraud and the account is currently suspended because of that. But anyway, I should probably give the blog a bit of a revamp when it all eventually works.
Back to knitwear….Here is the Cooperative-Designs spring summer 2010 collection. They have brought a more body-con silhouette to the table this season, as I had speculated in a previous post (http://knitkicks.wordpress.com/2009/09/01/co-operative-designs/). Mixed in-between the draped stripes were an array of lingerie shapes and cut out leggings. The colours and patterns inspired by Bauhaus.

Sandra Backlund Spring Summer 2010
I have looked high and low for more pictures of Sandra Backlund’s new Spring/summer 2010 collection, but unfortunately I could only find the ones from Diane Pernets blog (http://dianepernet.typepad.com). I am pretty sure there are more pieces than the ones pictured below..guess I have to be patient and wait for them to pop up.
This is her second collection collaboration with Maglificio Miles an Italian knitwear company. Hopefully this means her collection will be hitting the stores in Spring Summer as these garments look a lot more commercial and wearable. I’m yet to hear or see of her last collection being sold in stores, but perhaps it wasn’t made to be sold.
