(Remembering R.W.K-C.)
Families have no beginning, but can end
Though 350 armigerous years
Brighten the vellum. But life may descend
Obliquely, and a score of Norfolk squires
Are summed up here into a fresh dimension
That can progenerate outside the reach
Of county gossip and outlive the plantation
Of those long woods of Spanish chestnut and beech.
For a while over his arable and pasture
The rooks come idling home. The piled clouds grow
And fade this late October afternoon.
Here in his great library, ill and slow,
He leans between his lamp and the young moon,
Become the elements of more than nature.
2 ~ Felbrigg by Carlo Volpi
This design by Carlo Volpi is knitted using Rowan Creative Linen. It shows a lovely cable pattern on both front and back. The set-in sleeves are knitted in reverse stockinette stitch.
I love this design for its cable pattern and I guess I will knit it this spring.
A fabulous unisex design…..perfect for those cooler summer mornings at the beach 🙂
This is a beautiful sweater. The cable pattern looks like a vine sprouting new leaves growing along a trellis. Perfect for spring. I can’t wait to see what colour you will choose.
What a great cable pattern! I think I would like it something other than linen, but the design is wonderful!
