Schemes

I am a huge fan of Anne of Green Gables. During my preteen and teen years I read all that L. M. Montgomery had written, but the Anne series was by far my favorite; especially the first book. It's the sort of book you just want to live in. I was fortunate enough one year to influence my family's vacation destination with a memorable week spent enjoying the beauties of Prince Edward Island as well as the tacky tourist traps (Marilla's Pizza anyone?).

I also love the 1985 tv movie of the book starring Megan Follows. I was watching it for the gazillionth time last year, but my first time with a knitter's eye. There is some really nice knitwear in the movie. There is one cardigan in particular that caught my attention. It's a blue raglan with a lace pattern running down from the shoulders on the front.

Here it is (images captured from youtube):



I decided I would try to recreate it. Here is my swatch made with yarn purchased at Rhinebeck last year. With any luck I'll find time to start it soon!
