5 out of 5 starsIt was just as I had imagined, but unfortunately, I accidentally deleted the pattern, so I am left with a half completed tank top! My fault, I am trying to complete it
By just matching the front to the completed back.
. Heigh ho, don’t get old ~ things get complicated! -

5 out of 5 starsLovely, super-soft, loose hand-knitted sweater. It fits absolutely perfectly and is a gorgeous color. Cherylline was wonderful. Due to the pandemic and U.S. Postal Service issues, the package took 6 weeks to arrive from Spain, without tracking, but arrive it did, in perfect condition, and I could not be happier with my sweater.

4 out of 5 starsAbsolutely love the softest and the look of the shrug. I find the example picture a little deceiving because the part that hangs down around the neck was not there which I thought would be on the shrug as well. Otherwise Excellent quality and feel, I would definitely buy again from this site on Esty.

iLE AiYE London / ibiza
iLE AiYE was born from my travels to Nigeria, Africa, I found this trip and many after, completely inspiring, even to this day, I tend to create new designs whilst travelling, it's a really liberating experience, and a unique way of remembering each location, dependent on what I created there, how it made me feel, what I smelt, ate, the temperature, sea, sun, landscape.
iLE AiYE is a Yoruba (Nigerian) word meaning 'house of life' or 'mother earth' which has true meaning within my collection as I aim to bring life to your wardrobe by either a pop of colour, a subtle easy to wear original knit, Style, Quality, Warmth, and Comfort.
When at home my favourite time of day for knititng is the dead of night, with my headphones on, some funky jazz, motown, classical or whatever takes my fancy to keep me company sometimes silence is top of my list whilst I click my needles in solitude, and create into the morning dawn,
I live between London, and Ibiza which suites my need to be amongst people from all walks of life, having grown up in the hills of North Wales, London is a world away from my roots, but somehow it suits my soul. and Ibiza gives me freedom (Life), great light, endless inspiration, and spirituality.
iLE AiYE knits are designed to flatter woman from all sizes, shapes and backgrounds, I love how women express themselves, so I'm a happy knitter knowing I'm helping with this expression, beit one neck scarf, or a sweater,
Sometimes less is more,
I hope you'll enjoy browsing my collection, and will be inspired in one way or another.
follow me on instagram: ile.aiye_knitwear - or Facebook, I post regular videos of my finished knits,
or click the link below. for all related inspirations and regular updates.
