Chunky Wool Jumper – Autumn

Late October, banked up and worn. Burnt orange, plum and a bright magenta ring out in squares from the chest, with slate and gold between the rounds, like a hearth seen through a window on the walk home. The sleeves pick up the same warm mix in stripes. This is a jumper with real weight: wool blend, chunky crochet, a boxy cut with a wide boat neck and easy shoulders, sitting at the hip. Pull it on over anything when the light goes amber and the evenings start early. Crocheted by hand, round by round, so the colours settle differently on every piece.
