About The Colour Blockade is a colourful top down knit sweater. Inspired by the 80’s ski jackets, this knitted sweater is a creative outlet to show off your colour skills. Choose different coloured yarns to create your own knitted look, or keep it simple with some pops of colour. Colour Blockade Knit Up Zip Up is worked from the top down, beginning with the collar, and then working the yoke down to the armholes. The fronts and back are then worked separately before joining at the underarms to continue the rest of the body. The hem is worked with an elastic installed, giving it that oversized puffer look that is popular with sports jackets. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to the cuffs, where the elastic is installed into the cuff. The zipper is sewn in from the collar and stitched down to complete the garment. This pattern comes with a PDF sheet attached to figure out your colour work beforehand. There is also a guide to using stitch fiddle to create your design.

Refuge d'appoint pour les week-ends prolongés ou les congés, parfois point de chute professionnel, tout le monde peut être amené à investir dans un pied-à-terre citadin. Ce lieu de vie secondaire profite de la proximité avec la ville mais est le plus souvent contraint par un volume limité. Voilà pourquoi il souffre d'un manque de considération : le peu de temps passé dans une résidence secondaire n'encourage pas forcément les travaux. Une erreur si l'on considère le potentiel sous-jacent de ces petits cocons. Après plusieurs années de vagabondage dans ce pied-à-terre de la Capitale, les propriétaires ont décidé de lui offrir un lifting mérité. Le 61 m2 manquait cruellement de fonctionnalité avec des pièces étriquées, laissées dans leur jus, il devenait donc urgent de repenser la distribution globale. Une mission de haut vol confiée à l'expertise de l'agence Boclaud Architecture.
