It allowed me to meet two very kind and talented designers; Kiyomi and Sachiko Burgin. These twin sisters live in Toronto, not far from my own home, so one fine evening we met up outside a pretty wee coffee shop and chatted about their work, background, and design aesthetic.
The sisters have worked together to create a fantastic designer feature. I very much admire their ability to co-create; it demonstrates their harmonious habits and excellent communication, particularly because they each have a distinctive style.
I'll give you a quick run down of what they've created for this issue of Knitscene:

Kiyomi has designed the Little Norway Pullover, the Queen Street Sweater, and the Deep Woods Toque. They're all cool, but I have to say my favourite is the Deep Woods Toque. How pretty is that colourwork, and how FUN is that pop of neon peach in the pom pom?

Sachiko designed the Bay-and-Gable Tunic, the Yorkville Wrap, and the Casa Loma Jacket. Each speaks of her keen eye for texture, but I think the one that stands out most to me is the Yorkville Wrap.
