s the summer holidays draw to a close, and the work/life balance

A is reinstated, it’s time to cast a fashionable eye over this month’s

patterns and decide on your back to work look. Inspiration this
month is a retro blend of the chic lines and silhouettes of the fifties mixed
with the glamour of the twenties. Shot in a stunning Art Deco building in
East Sussex, our model brought a Gatsbyesque flavour to the day and in
a loft y apartment the shoot got underway.
Often we save our best clothes for special occasions, which I am
beginning to think is a little daft, given the fact that unfortunately my work
life tends to outweigh my social life! If you are still not convinced about
spending precious hours knitting for the workplace, our opening garment in
this month’s gallery is the perfect design. Sian Brown’s Mad Men cardigan
(page
page 18)18 is simple and very chic, but for something with a little more detail,
Pat Menchini’s Collarette top (page 23 with
page 23),
its lovely shaping and a pretty necktie, is ideal
for bringing a touch of glamour to the office.
However, top of my wish list this month is
Natalie Smart’s Knotted stitch top (cover
cover).
With its keyhole detail and striking neckline it
will happily double up for drinks after work!
Knitting duo, Ruth and Belinda have certainly
catered for the day-to-night scenario. Putting
their inimitable style on the ‘back to work’
theme, they have created two patterns in one.
Firstly, the sweet daytime Move over darling
cardigan, which for those of you up for a
challenge and a lot more knitting, will become
the stunning evening Darling move over coat
(page
page 22).
22
So, I will leave you to wind down the summer
and make your choices this month before
heading back to work this autumn with some
glamour in your stride.
