SLOW PROCESS...

The idea for this cardigan came quite a while ago. I've spent some time to decide on yarn, and am now sketching on the design. After a few more test patches and some calculations I should be ready to cast on!

MY NEW CARDI, LEVENWICK

I fell for this cardigan that Gudrun Johnston has designed for Brooklyn Tweed! I also happened to have lots of brown tweed yarn from a stranded project, and thought this project would be a good way to use it. The buttons are made of pewter, and are normally used on traditional Norwegian cardigans. I think it turned out really nice, and look forward to wear it! (So far I'm sticking to my new year's resolution!)

inspired by...THE SPARROW

Inspiration can come from so many places. From random things one sees in everyday life, or from places one seeks for the purpose of being inspired. Small details can trigger great ideas. But sometimes one is inspired by a person, an icon. I will tell you about my icons in "inspired by...".

Edith Piaf

Edith Piaf, what a life, what a passion! And in between those tragic and fantastic events in her life, she managed to do some knitting! Although there are photos of her knitting with both white and red yarn, I think she mostly knitted with black yarn. An idea for a black cardigan is resting at the back of my mind until I have plowed through my ongoing projects.
