PIANO AUTUMN TUNES is a Nordic sweater with a graphic yoke design inspired by the black and white keys on a piano.
I designed this in the spring of 2020 when Covid-19 was spreading and we came together in Den-mark and discovered a new way of singing together remotely: we sang along with a great composer, who played the piano every morning on national tv.
The sweater is knitted in the coziest sandy color with blue and brown accents that makes me think of fields after harvest, the autumn sky, and walking through falling leaves.
I wish you happy knitting.
