Joanne Plays the Fiddle
My original sample of the Timepiece Cardigan was knitted in a fuzzy sage-green Nutiden yarn. I was attracted to the drab colour, and wanted to experiment with proportions prior to knitting the final sample, so I was essentially making it for myself. It did not occur to me how much this garment literally resembled the cardigan worn by Kurt Cobain on MTV’s Unplugged, until Joanne tried it on. She was sitting there, in jeans and t-shirt, this cardigan draped over the top, her blond hair messed by the wind, when I noticed the resemblance.
‘Do you happen to play the guitar?’ I asked.
No, but she could play the fiddle.
