Pensées de printemps, pensées
d’automne
J’ai voulu refaire ce modèle en laine fine et couleurs
plus doux, pour l’automne. Cette année
il est enfin prêt, pour sortir dans le soleil de septembre !
Spring pansies, autumn pansies
The English yarn company Rowan was started in the
late 1980s and during the first ten
years it specialised in publishing knitting patterns that necessitated at least
twenty different colours and lots of time ! That was the era of such
designers as Kaffe Fassett, Jamie and Jessie Seaton and Jean Moss. I was especially fond of Susan Duckworth’s
floral designs. I knitted her 'Pansies' pattern in cotton and I have worn it
every summer since 1994. A
few years ago I attended a workshop with Susan and naturally, I showed her my
jacket!
I wanted to knit another jacket in the same
pattern, for autumn, in fine wool and softer colours. This year it is finished,
at last, ready to go out into the September sunlight!
