Laura Irwin for Winn Perry
Laura is a fantastic designer and hand knitter here in Portland. Earlier this year, her book of knitting patterns Boutique Knits was published to much praise from the knitting community, which has grown substantially in Portland over recent years. I had the pleasure of meeting Laura through a mutual friend last year and needless to say, I was taken by her approach to design. She has a very keen eye that takes seemingly traditional objects just a little out of their ordinary comfort zone. Before this little collaboration, Laura had only produced women’s accessories, but with a little hinting on my part that she should venture into mens items, we got together to make this first round of caps.
This cap is made from a blend of merino, cashmere, and microfiber that was chosen for its softness, light weight, and its ability to be machine washed. The "Long Rib" pattern that Laura created is easily worn with the rib in or rib out. The rib out, that makes it look "inside out", is technically the right face of the pattern, but wear it however you wish. When worn, I think it looks really great either way. One more design is on its way for later in the month.
