Occasionally when I come across a photo of one of my designs, my heart skips a beat and this certainly happened when I spotted Olivia’s photos of her Muna jumper! Everything about this project is just beautiful!
Olivia chose a stunning, bright blue for her jumper and it really makes the jumper a stand out piece. The yarn she used is from Knit Picks and it is 100% Peruvian wool. It seems to have the perfect mix of loft and drape making it a great yarn for this design.
One of the great things about knitting is that you can make the design unique to you by making small changes and Olivia has done just that. She omitted about twenty rows of length in the body making it a slightly cropped jumper and it really works! She has also added length to the sleeves giving her the perfect sleeves to wrap her fingers up in when it is cold. Paired with her checked, high waisted trousers it makes a fab look.
Olivia has chosen a great location for her photo shoot. The blustery wind and the grey sea in the background gives us the perfect atmosphere and I can honestly imagine what a joy it must be to wrap up in this cosy jumper! I am so grateful Olivia let me share her photos with you and if you want to read more of Olivia’s helpful project notes you can find her finished project over on Ravelry where she is @oliviahoak.
