Homes & Interiors Scotland Magazine - July - August 2024

In this issue

In this issue, we’ve shone a spotlight on what makes Scotland a brilliant summer holiday destination. Flick through the pages and you’ll see the golden sands of Gullane, where eternal traveller Laura Thomas fell in love with East Lothian’s laid-back vibes and put down roots. Head north to Aldourie on the shores of Loch Ness for a pristine restored castle and gardens that would wow the most jaded of tourists. Or how about an off-the beaten-track getaway, like North Berwick’s Lookout – so new, only our writer’s feedback is in the guestbook.

MEET THE MAKER RACHEL MACLELLAN

You might think the process is purely creative, but designing knitted textiles requires a deep understanding of geometry and pattern calculations. It is intricate and often mathematical. I have learned that knitting demands a constant balance between artistry and engineering. Creating a new textile involves not only selecting colours and yarns but also considering the tensile strength, elasticity and drape of the material. That way, I ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To me, this blend of creativity and technical precision is a fascinating aspect of knitted textile design.
