Sophie, a white woman with blonde hair is modelling her handknitted Sennen sweater. The sweater is a creamy colour with a series of blue stripes that have creamy waves in the middle of each. It features a crew neck and balloon sleeves that taper neatly just before the cuff.  Sophie is stood in front of the camera so we have a clear picture of the front of the sweater, but her face is out of shot.
