We have just returned from a photoshoot. It is a very hot day and Tom couldn’t stop taking photographs of Bruce’s monumental panting tongue. (Don’t worry, he was supplied with plenty of water). In between the hot dog shots, he was photographing my new pattern – a cardigan, which is due for release toward the end of the month. I am very pleased with this design, and couldn’t resist showing you a couple of outtakes from the shoot.
This will be the first of three designs, all inspired by my favourite Edinburgh places. More soon!

Beautiful photostyling (as always), and the shot of the cabled cuff is tantalizing. I look forward to these Edinburgh designs.

Dear Kate!
I am following your website for around three years now and am checking almost daily for news about your beautiful patterns and your joyful stories about life up north. Thanks for sharing all this with the web community. Today I read about your cat being gone for some days and was very happy, when I saw that he returned. So I felt the need to congratulate you and him. Thanks for the gorgeous picture of your gorgeous cat!
All the best from Vienna
p.s. I hope Bruce is not jealous now. I do like black Labradors too!

Hello Bruce! Oscar and Sparky writing to you from very hot Bloomington, IL! I hope you have cooler weather in Scotland today than what we are expecting here. Temps in the 90’s with very high humidity – thank goodness my humans have air conditioning! My mom squealed with delight when she saw this post and she says she can’t wait for the sweater patterns. I like it when my mom knits because I get to sit in her lap!

beautiful cardigan, I look forward to the pattern. It was 32C in Berkshire yesterday and Molly, my 2 yr old black lab got in the paddling pool with the children, much to their delight. We have kept it out for her to use whilst they are at school as its still a scorcher down here

Hi Bruce, Lexie here. Could you send some of your warm, hot weather northwards? My boss (who also says she likes Kate’s new cardie – I can’t see what all the excitement is about myself!) took us for a walk to my favourite loch today (named after me – Lexie’s Loch) and although I went for a swim I can’t say my heart was in it as it was a little chilly. So any warmth you can send will be gratefully received.

Will the 3 patterns be in an e-booklet or sold separately?
Put me on the list either way.
