As on the highway’s quiet edge
He mows the grass beside the hedge,
The old man has for company
The distant, grey, salt-smelling sea,
A poppied field, a cow and calf,
The finches on the telegraph.Across his faded back a hone,
He slowly, slowly scythes alone
In silence of the wind-soft air,
With ladies’ bedstraw everywhere,
With whitened corn, and tarry poles,
And far-off gulls like risen souls.

This design by Lisa Richardson is knitted using Rowan All Seasons Cotton. It shows an all-over diamond cable pattern and a round neck.
I love this design for its great cable pattern.

Konrad, the poem you chose sets the scene so well, I can almost hear the seagulls and smell the salt air. An excellent sweater, perfect for summer in cotton and then in wool for autumn. I wish I had someone I could knit this for.
A lovely rugged sweater !
