Treilís Pullover

................................................... TREILÍS PULLOVER ................................................... A seemingly unlikely alliance between simplicity and drama, Treilís is a cable-knit jumper in its most basic form. Worked top-down as a series of vertical panels with easy cable repeats, 
the design involves very little shaping or technical nuance of any kind. And yet, when it all 
comes together there is a synergy of exuberance and complexity.

 The traditional Irish cable motif used in Treilís has long served as a Rorschach test of sorts - with representations of botanicals, stag’s antlers, and hearts, being variously ascribed to its
 symbolic narrative. For me, Treilís is a knitted ode to those wild garlands of ivy that cling
 to old trees in every patch of local woodland. Walking amidst 
these glorious organic sculptures, I too want to be like the tree - draped in ivy 
trellises in recognition of my rootedness.
