    TAKING INSPIRATION from tulips, Sandra Nesbitt has created an attractive pattern formed from lace and twisted stitches. The tulip motifs ‘grow’ on twisted stems, which look like cables but don’t require a cable needle. Sandra’s neat design has a cropped body and sleeves. The baby alpaca DK yarn from Juniper Moon Farm, called Herriot, offers a wonderfully soft fabric with a fluffy halo. There is a lovely range of warm, sophisticated shades to choose from.
