MEET THE DESIGNER
All the dreamy garments in this supplement were designed by the inimitable Shari White, a New York designer who’s known for her lacy and colourful creations
Shari loves creating lacy shawls with interesting yet easy-to-replicate stitch patterns
Shari White’s signature style is unmistakable. If you visit her Ravelry shop, you’ll see pages of floaty shawls with ethereal colour changes flowing over models’ shoulders, as well as cosy-looking throws in exciting shade combinations.
Most of the projects on Shari’s page were created for magazines – Simply Crochet included – as well as major yarn companies like Yarnspirations, Red Heart and Caron. Somehow, the talented New York-based designer manages to take on these major commissions while working full-time selling advertising for a major media company and spending time with her six adult sons and three-year-old granddaughter. “I’m also very involved with the New York City Crochet Guild and the Big Apple Knitting Guild,” she says.
