La maison Victor

Trying to get attention. Something this society seems to be based upon. So not even I escape from it. Of course not. In this that desire of ever more attention and ever more praise of what you make this blog came to be. And I sent in a photo to be on the coverphoto of La Maison Victor's facebookpage. Which, by surprise, was selected. As it is a design I have not yet featured here on the blog, this gives me the opportunity to talk about it a bit.


I never published any pattern for this little cardigan, because, let's face it: I just make up things on the go. And writing a pattern afterwards is rather difficult. Especially with such an intricate pattern.
Yet again I was inspired by art nouveau (see My post about the peacock collar for more information about my infatuation with the art nouveau movement) which is clearly visible in this picture I made for whenever I would write the pattern. The ornaments are slightly stolen from Alphonse Mucha's Répos de la nuit, of which I've got a print in my room. Ok, back to the cardi. It's made with Wibra Mona yarn, which is quite a thin yarn in Wibra's range, and also incredulously soft. The front features a 6-strand simple cable, and the back features exactly the same but with 12 strands.It sports 3/4 sleeves for I intended it to be a summer-jacket/cardi. Can't wear long sleeves in summer, of course.




The feature on La Maison Victor's facebookpage gives me somehow the incentive to write a pattern for it. So maybe one day I will, I'll keep you updated on that matter. A second incentive the feature gave me was to pursue my ambition to be do my internship with them. That would signify a major boost to my carreer, not only as craftswoman but as a journalist as well.

That was it for today. Just a bunch of overwhelming excitement about being featured on La Maison Victor's facebookpage. Under my personal name, of course, not as Thimblewubble.

cheers!
