Notes

Yes, my design is in the Winter issue guest edited by Norah Gaughan:
Pom Pom Quarterly 27

The colour of my sample was too bright and did not fit in with the other designs, hence a second sample was knitted up in The Copper Corgi Fiber Studio Jones Street Worsted in the shade Goldenrod.


Ataraxia is named after one of Caroline Norton’s poems, to give you a sense of calm, sheltering you from whatever storms you bravely weather. She was known for her drive to establish basic legal rights for women. The long jacket’s fitted shape is achieved through a careful arrangement of vertical texture panels and I-cord highlights. Finished with a tucked asymmetrical peoplum. Designed with a mythic shield maiden in mind, not unlike Caroline Norton.
