This scene was captured in sketch by artist and illustrator Janine Pope during a poignant visit to her mother’s homeland, Denmark. Two friends, sitting companionably in Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens, knitting and chatting. The full story is told, by Janine, in the kit. As soon as I saw it, I begged to embroider it. It is such fun to create all the different textures through very simple stitches, and the figures have such energy and personality. The kit also contains a drawing of the design, so if you have been on one of Janine’s workshops (Cowslip Workshops) you will be able to try making this design with fabric as well. The kit contains comprehensive instructions from Caroline on how to embroider the design by hand, as well as a loaded thread card.  It is a very relaxing kit to stitch, and would make the most charming present for anyone who enjoys knitting, either alone or in the company of friends. I plan to add mine to a knitting-needle case I am making for someone very dear indeed.
