Joker


After last week's outing to Podspálov I can finally introduce to you 'Joker', a project of last year. 'Joker' is a sweater that came about as a combination of patterns and colourful yarns around winter time. Take my word for it, 'Joker' is a warm sweater ideal for late autumn, winter or early spring. And it would definitely be the right decision to wear in Podspálov (shame I did not bring it with me then).


At this stage, I bring in Elena to explain the 'Joker' project. The fun aspect here lies in the two-sided design. As you can see above, the front and back pieces were created and joined so that the entire piece can be worn on both sides.

All I have to do now is to decide weather to have a red or yellow day. Either way, I used the rest of the red yarn to crochet a short scarf that pleasantly covers the area around my neck to keep warm.

Below is a rather picturesque detail of my scarf.



There is one more detail I want you to turn to. Both sleeves are touch longer and so for comfort reasons have not been closed at their ends. This way I can either fold them back when I work or keep them straight to keep warm. Therefore, both sleeves have quite stylish openings attractive to the eye and touch.


Warm and colourful, 'Joker' is a joy to wear. I have certainly received looks of interest every time I wear it. To be honest, 'Joker' is a rather pleasant variation to the grey/dark standards of London business crowd.

Thank you. The colours are pleasantly cheerful, happy. Originally, they came together from a selection from left-over yarns. To bring in the character of the Joker simply came out of the making process. Just the way I like it.
