    About

    Perfect for a promenade in Paris! I have hand knit this romantic Victorian style cardigan from an 1880's bustle jacket design. The hand washable 100% wool yarn is a jewel rich crimson. Tiered ruffles accent the back waist, neck, and bracelt length cuffs. Vintage solid brass buttons close the ruffled front placket.

      You are a wonderful designer and knitter! There's a wonderful impressionist painting of people promenading and you've caught the shape of the women's clothing to a "T!" Brava!! WendyHT

        Thank you, Wendy for your kind thoughts! Yes, the painting is 'Promenade sur La Grande Jatte". Wish I were able to create more written patterns!
