Hand knit project for uni

last term at uni we did a hand knit project inspired by 'the war years'. So we looked at the 1920s 1930s and the 1940s.
Using rowan yarns: Felted Tweed and Rowan Finest. I choose those 2 yarns because at time of war, yarn wasn't always available or affordable. felted tweed looks like it has been knitted, worn, washed before : unraveling and re-knitting
my designs are a combination of the two: 'old and new' yarn in one garment. linking and connecting with cables

I got selected for the rowan design award 2015 by Marie Wallin!:)
