5 out of 5 starsSo easy to follow and even though it´s a very simple instruction, the result is very original and unique. It think the pattern is to cheap when you consider that you it is the original pattern from Ile Aiye. Cherylline has her own, very unique way of creating beautiful knit.

5 out of 5 starsThis is an amazing blouse. Outstanding in the way that it suits me. It´s so femine and sensuel in a very subtle way, and edgy at the same time. I wore with a long silk skirt and Western boots at a big outside party already the day after I received it and just felt welldressed and relaxed. Cherylline is an amazing artist with her knitting sticks. What she picks up from - her inspiration - is very unique and original in its essence. And at the same time every knitting mask is born out of a flow that has this flavor of softness and easy going´ness. I´m a knitter myself and can tell that Cherrylline has a special and very soft touch with her knitting needles that gives the resultat it´s own unique essence. I just love that Cherrylline puts this softness and free spirit into both the look and the feeling of every piece I buy.

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.
