Design Diary 'Episode 11' Creating a Secret Collection (Patreon)

Welcome back to Kays 'Design Diary' series!

Sometimes Kay likes to create a special secret collection of designs that arrive as a little surprise and contain lots of special things. In Summer 2020 Kay conceived the idea for her 'Winter Collection' which launched last month. Today the 'Design Diary' returns as Kay takes you through every step of how she goes about creating a secret collection.

Join her as she:

• Talks through the idea behind the 'Winter Collection'
• Discusses the importance of the feeling she wanted to create around each pattern in the collection
• Gives you a close look at each of the socks and talks you through the design inspirations
• Discusses the nerves she felt around writing the stories of Lotta and Stig that feature in each pattern
• Shows you her design book and some of her notes
