“I may have lost my heart but not my self-control”

  • Jane Austen, Emma

In 2013 I made the goal of designing one afghan square per month in honor of a different Jane Austen Character. September’s edition is that steady that witty heroine Emma.

This square is a slight departure from the previous editions in that I felt strongly that Emma needed a lace motif. I try very hard to think about the characters and what might best represent them in regards to stitch patterns and so Emma is slightly more delicate while possessing strong lines.

Happy Knitting!
