I knitted this cardigan a few years ago. I just made it up as I was knitting it, over 3 years ago. It was quite ambitious, considering I had only knitted one jumper and a few scarves and shawls before that… But I was eager to knit the kind of clothes I wanted to wear but couldn’t find in stores.

I decided to make up my very own cardigan, entirely made with local yarn. The grey comes from the sheep from my local biodynamic farm and the natural darker shade comes from the sheep grazing right in the valley where we used to live, in Ashdown Forest.

I really like using the wool from the sheep who live and graze around where I live. It makes me feel deeply connected to my natural environment!
