From book: Monet painted the water-lily pond a the bottom of his garden at Giverny hundreds of times; it became virtually his only “model” for the last 20 years of his life (1840-1926). The lilies themselves are not immediately recognizable, but dissolve instead unto the delicate background colors.

Mohair is the only yarn in this cardigan, knitting into a neat forties style, because it shares the subtile shades and tones used by Monet in this wonderfully soft work. The lilies are knitting in plain white mohair in selected areas with the only sharp colors embroidered in red and yellow.
