After my recent photo shoot, I received 173 photos from photographer Kim Müller. I did manage to narrow it down to 50 photos but really struggled to pick the agreed 20 and ended on 22 photos of the stunning Francesca Golfetto which he then optimized. The first ones I would like to show you is of the Tyrol Jacket, knitted in the hand-dyed Madeline Tosh DK – see madelinetosh – since I have just announced the test knit on Ravelry. Indeed, a very popular one since there are only spaces left in the larger sizes; L, XL and XXL if you want to join, see Ravelry. My aim with the photo shoot was to have marvelous photos displaying an artistic elegance and sensuality. I achieved my aim, thanks to dancer Francesca Golfetto, photographer Kim Müller and my husband; the photo assistant!
I had asked Francesca to wear her hair in a loose bun and smoky eyes. Of course she obliged and looked divine despite taking part in the 3,5 hour long premier performance of the ballet I Fokines Verden/In Fokine’s World the evening before, see photos here: Operaen. All she needed was an extra cup of coffee!
Francesca is a smaller size than I am, she is a typical XS; 30-32″ while I am a S; 34″, hence the Tyrol Jacket is worn with more ease on her than on me. I did find these cables with parts of reversible stocking stitches addictive hence I had to make a matching scarf. The bordering garter stitch do seem to make the cables pop out and I love that!
The Tyrol Jacket pattern will be released in my Ravelry store after the completed test knit, in January. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I do!
Det første bildet i denne serien er ikke så bra. Hun skjuler litt med hånden oppe på skulderen og en brett på jakken nede til høyre (sett forfra). Jakken er nydelig.

Ja, helst skulle det vært uten brett, men den oppdaget jeg for sent. Vi prøvde oss på litt forskjellige arm bevegelser for å få litt variasjon. Tusen takk!
This is just beautiful!
I love the color even though I normally don’t go for pink. And the cables are just perfect.
Thank you so much, Mary Jo! I am very pleased with the result!
Another fantastic design! You have quite a mastery of great heavy beautiful texture!
Thank you so much, Carolyn! I do love texture and sculptural knits!
I think that the two-tone pink is fabulous! What a beautiful design!
Oh, I am delighted that you think so, Tracy! It took me awhile to get rid off my annoyance with the different dye lots, but it grew on me and it does highlight the sleeves with the saddle shoulder.
It is just so beautiful. Fabulous photos.
That is so nice to hear, Janie! I agree, despite the small fold visible on the first photo! Thank you!
Helt fantastisk flott Linda! Jakken, designet og den flotte modellen!
Med ønske om en riktig god helg!
Tusen takk, Nina! Ja, Francesca har elegansen, holdningen og er i tillegg så fotogen synes jeg! Takk det samme til deg!
