Monday mood – Cherries and snow

We really love the painting of this snow scene with pigeons, it’s the colours especially that inspire a great winter palette for knitwear. My friend Karl sent me this card a couple of years ago and I have kept it because I love the painting so much. It reminds me of frosty mornings in Hyde Park, London. (It also includes a black and white stripe which always hits the spot with us!) We then found a vintage cherry print which fits the story so well and makes for a strong set of colours, illustrated in these fabulous alpine yoke sweaters.
It’s still winter all the way for us but much brightened by a strong cherry red.

I love Mondays! The mood boards are not only inspiring and beautifully done, they actually lift my mood!
