Last Saturday it was rainy, and the wind from the Atlantic Ocean was penetrating rare passers-by with cold, snatching umbrellas from their hands and ruthlessly tearing yellow leaves from lime trees in front of my house, showering the alley leading to the neighbor's cottage with golden rain.
I didn't want to go outside and wanted to stay home in warmth and comfort on my sofa under a soft plaid blanket. I put my son to sleep after lunch, before that we had read and even made an erupting volcano (the volcano erupted with foam of soda extinguished by vinegar and colored red, yellow and black gouache to create the effect of lava — my son was happy). The washing machine and the dishwasher were working in the kitchen and it was still early to cook dinner!
It was such an amazing and treasured time for myself! I really appreciate those rare hours, sometimes minutes, when I can do what I want, and if I don't want to do anything, then I do not do anything!
Taking advantage of this precious respite, I began to surf webpages, looking at different clothes knitted with needles of tweed yarn. I got interested in jacquards and I became so fascinated by huge variety of tweed models in a jacquard technique, that I could not stop moving from one picture to another. I was going through the pages of the Internet, one designer followed another and each time I was surprised by the skill of knitters, their ability to choose and combine colors in jacquard clothes, I dreamed of knitting one piece and then the other, I liked a hat, a scarf, a cape, and thus this publication was born!
Hope you'll like the models and they will inspire you on creating your new knitted masterpieces, because autumn is the perfect time for knitting. Long winter is ahead, we all have to go through it and how nice it is to please yourself and your loved ones with new handmade knitted clothes!
And tweed is a unique, cozy yarn that adds elegance to the simplest solid model with knit stitches, and jacquard tweed is incomparable! Multi-colored blotches coincide with the main tone creating a unique ornament!
And, of course, speaking of tweed, I must mention the fact that fills the hearts of the lovers of tweed style with a special pride: at present there is no other material in the world that is produced using an authentic national technology with local raw materials and the production of which reached a commercial scale!
We hope that this selection will inspire you on creating your own knit masterpieces!
