Today we're going to have a quick chat with Miyuki, the designer of the elegant Hidahida pullover from Issue 25. This design is as beautiful as it is warm with its gathered shawl collar.
amirisu:What was your inspiration for this design?
Miyuki:I often use gathers in my designs, but I had never used them on the back of a collar before so I wanted to try it out in this design.
amirisu: What, if any, challenges did you encounter during the design process? Miyuki: The increases for the collar and shoulders as well as the gathers at the chest were a bit of a challenge.
amirisu:If you were to knit this design in another color, what would it be? Miyuki:Brick
amirisu:How did you start your knitting journey? Miyuki: My mother taught me how to knit when I was a child. After a period of not knitting for a while, I came across a book by knit designermichiyoand that inspired me to start knitting again.
amirisu:Do you have a favorite museum or work of art? Please tell us a little about it. Miyuki: TheTokyo Metropolitan Teien Art Museum. I like the relaxed atmosphere surrounded by all of the greenery.
