CONSTRUCTION NOTES

The pullover is worked from top down and begins with the ribbed collar. Isager Tweed is a single spun yarn and it is, thus, unsuitable for knitting in the round using circular needles. Unlike a plied yarn, a single spun yarn is unbalanced and will bias or warp in one direction when knitting in the round. This feature has been taken into account in the knitting instructions for this sweater. The sweater will be worked back and forth in rows and then later sewn together along the center back. Or, as an option, a button placket can be knitted at the center back.

FILM COLLECTION

FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD
We find ourselves in Victorian England. And the independent and headstrong Bathsheba Everdene surprisingly inherits the estate of an uncle. As a young and beautiful woman, she is courted by three very different men: the impoverished shepherd, Gabriel Oak; the wealthy landowner, William Boldwood; and the fiery sergeant, Frank Troy. Which one of them will be her chosen one? Is she even ready for a man in her life? The film is very beautiful and very romantic. Carey Mulligan plays the beautiful Bathsheba, but I find it more difficult to keep my eyes from Matthais Schoenaerts in the role of Gabriel Oak. The inspiration for my design comes from a sweater worn by Bathsheba’s maid. In addition, many sheep can be seen in the film.
