“Let this book be your guide as you knit your way through my vibrant and rhythmic world of summer knitwear, with Jamaica as your muse and the Caribbean as your backdrop.”
Island Vibes: Summer Knits by Sasha Hyre features nine patterns for summer knits: three tops, a cardigan, a shawl, a dress, a skirt, a sarong and a bag. Each piece is designed to be worn independently but can also be combined for stylish summer looks. This versatile capsule collection is designed mostly with linen, silk and cotton yarns that are perfect for warm weather. Decorative elements and techniques such as fringes, modular knitting and intarsia, are used in a modern and vibrant way.
Sasha Hyre is a Montreal-based knitwear designer and teacher. She is known for her versatile designs that combine colours and textures, and her work has been featured in several knitting magazines and books. Island Vibes is not only a celebration of her Jamaican heritage but also a tribute to the meditative and relaxing power of knitting.

Amazing! Really easy to thread and do ‘what they say on the tin’ - they are sharp and I’ve used them on fine silk voile, woven cotton and even to quilt through layered fabric with equal success. Super happy!
I have a box of the 40m cards and like to refill it when I am running one low. I also buy the larger hanks for my favourite colours. They are excellent quality, sew beautifully in my sashiko work and the colours do not run when washed. They are the best.
I love pretty much anything published by Laine, they have outdone themselves with this issue however.
Immediately on flicking through I bookmarked three 'must knits' and really enjoyed the article on Satu Rämö too ( if you've not read her novels now is a very good time to start).
Really enjoying this card deck, is helping improve my granny square skills. Instructions are clear, easy and fun!
These are the most beautiful Cohana sciossors I now have in my collection! The colour of a camelia blooming in the snow with the white leather case and silver sparkly star is the most beautiful of them all!
