Making It: A Sweater Story
Last month, I made a rookie mistake.
As a longtime craft writer and creator, I should have known better—rule number one when sharing photos with knitters and crocheters is: Only share a sweater if you’re prepared to share the pattern.
For my January column, I wrote about the Sophie Scarf trend, and while snapping photos, I broke this golden rule. It was a cold day, and I instinctively reached for my comfort sweater, wrapped myself in its familiar warmth, and moved on with my day—blissfully unaware of the crime I had just committed.
I take full accountability and am here today to set the record straight.
After seeing more than a few questions about the sweater, I knew I had to tell its story.
The Sweater That Stole the Spotlight
When I first started my career, I was working in the fashion industry. I had the opportunity to work for a few well-known brands, but the one I spent the most time at was Donna Karan.
At one point, I was given the chance to assist the knitwear department. I had already learned to knit and crochet—but I had never considered that knitting could be a career. So I leapt at the opportunity.
Did it mostly involve running around like Andy in The Devil Wears Prada? Yes. But for much kinder people. And I didn’t care—I loved every minute of it.
I was still very much a beginner knitter, and seeing the process of knitwear design up close was a lightbulb moment. My role was to assist the designers as they developed knits for the runway. My job was to help bring their creative visions to life.
That’s how this sweater came into my life.
This blue sweater was a rejected sample from their runway show. Because it never made it to the runway, it also never went into production. It’s truly one of a kind. Its label reads:
DONNA KARAN
Sample Not For Resale
Divina + Aran
DK10
It’s arguably the most beautiful handmade item I own. It represents a time in my life when I was working tirelessly on stunning pieces that often never saw the spotlight. So I’m more than a little amused that this sweater has finally gotten its moment, thanks to all of you.
A Closer Look at the Construction
The sweater is actually made up of individual swatches—each a different size—seamed together with the seams facing outward. Some are garter stitch, others purl, others knit. Some panels use both the Divina and Aran weight yarns held double, while others do not.
It’s constructed in three sections: one for the back, and two overlapping panels in the front. At first glance, it looks like a simple batwing silhouette, but the more you study it, the more intricate it becomes.
This complexity is exactly why it was never picked for production—it would have been too difficult to replicate at scale. But for me, it’s precisely that complexity that makes it so special.
The Next Evolution
A few years after my time at Donna Karan, I sat down to create my own version of this cocoon-shaped sweater. And in order to share the full journey of this sweater in my life, I must break the rules once again.
For a brief moment, I had a knitwear line called SOSA Knitwear. And for my pre-fall 2015 lookbook, I wanted to design a sweater with real wow factor. So I took the essence of the DK sweater but made it more replicable.
My version? Two knit circles that keep growing and growing, joined by an extra-long cable that wraps around both circles like a zipper.
And just like the original, this sweater was also too complex for mass production. I have a type.
A Third Sweater?
So here we are today. Two sweaters, made almost a decade apart. Each representing a different chapter of my knitting life.
And now, as I write this, I realize something: It’s been almost 20 years since the DK sweater and almost 10 years since the SOSA sweater.
Which begs the question: should I return to this sweater now that I design patterns? Should I create a new version—one that’s actually knittable for others? Or should I let both sweaters remain what they are—time capsules of the different stages of my craft?
Maybe a third sweater, completely unique yet connected to the first two, should be brewing. One to close out the trifecta. One to reflect where I am now, fully settled into my life as a pattern writer.
Let me know what you think of these sister sweaters and the idea of adding a third in the comments.
And thank you all again for shining a light on this special piece from my wardrobe.
There’s always a lot going on at MDK—check the homepage for the latest.

They’re both fabulous works of art and I would be delighted to get my hands on the pattern to make them my own.
I vote for the first sweater!
It’s unique and looks amazing.
Pattern please
Your sweaters are jaw dropping beauties. It should of made it into the show. What ever you do don’t stop. Keep making your beautiful artwork just beautiful.
That first sweater is AMAZING and there must be a way to reconstruct the basic pattern because with the yarns available now it would be incredible !
So where are the patterns for the two sweaters?
I need that blue jumper in my life. I can see why you loved it!
They are original and inspiring. A set of guidelines for the first might work better than a pattern. But I would just love to see that complicated exuberant design sense let loose on a sister project. Not worried about practicality.
Oh please! Design a similar pattern of something we can all knit!! Those two sweaters are glorious and I would buy a pattern instantly
You are going to laugh because you did it again. I went to your web site, Bobble House Club. I scrolled down and there is an ad for Lowe’s Creators. And in the ad, there you are, wearing another fab sweater! It’s an oversized pullover with exposed seams and the cutest standup collar. Now that’s the I want!!
Oh noooo!
Oh yes! The sweater in the Lowe’s ad is very cute!
Make a third as you’re in a new stage of life.
Yes!
Selfishly, I am all about the DK sweater and, as a commenter mentions, perhaps it’s about guidelines?
Your talent is off the charts!
This post jogged a memory of an Adrienne Vittadini design from a 1980s issue of Vogue Knitting. SoI went on a search. It’s not really anything like the ones pictured in this post, but since I spent 20 minutes looking for it, here it is:
https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/17-patchwork-pullover
Yes, I did make it back when it first came out. 🙂
How does one go about finding an old pattern? I have some nice cotton and would love to make this! I see it on Ravelry but can’t locate the actual pattern.
I made it also Wendy! Thanks for the memory- I had forgotten all about it!
Wendy, I too made that sweater when that issue was released. I skipped the sleeves and did a short ribbed edge because it was too heavy for NC heat and humility even then. I wore that sweater until it couldn’t be worn any longer. Thanks for looking it up!
I agree with “Balsamfir,” it would be great to have a set of guidelines or a formula for the original sweater…it is stunning!
You SHOULD create a third sweater! Now that you’ve had years between you also have the experience to come up with something TOTALLY NEW!
Keep going -you create UNIQUE items & the crafting world loves them!❤️
I love the blue sweater; it’s actually sort of reminiscent of a Noro afghan I made years ago. At first the color of the pink sweater was hard for me to like, but thanks to the b&w photo I’m reminded of the trap of giving too much attention to the color. Now I love them both, and a hybrid or new sweater from you would be so exciting!
Yes!!!
A schematic, and “recipe” to the original sweater please!! I don’t enjoy cables, so the second sweater doesn’t catch my attention, but in recipe form…maybe?
I currently have a crayon box jacket on the needles…loosely following the recipe…guidelines only can make a fun project!
yes please Samantha, a third sweater!!
This was such a fun read! Of course we want a wonderful wow factor hand knit pattern that we would never find in ready to wear!
I adore the DK garment; sweater seems an inadequate word for it. I wish there were a pattern for it. It’s lovely complexity is a temptation but the design process is a bit daunting for me, when what I really want to do is knit.
I love the idea of your original made with upcycled, thrifted sweaters… it’s almost more of a sewing project. Both are lovely!
I love the first sweater and would can’t wait to see what you will come up with next! Your designs are beautiful!
I like the second one a lot! If it is truly not able to be replicated, then I think a third one would be perfect!
Samantha, So happy to see your shining face pop up in my feed! I love your ‘kimono-esque’ sweater even more now that you have shared more pictures of it. Maybe you could map it out, measure the swatches with the exposed seams, explain the stitch patterns, and figure out if the yarns are held single or double. Eww, that sounds like a lot!! It looks like it is knitted with a fairly large needle with either weight of the yarns (what is Divina??) Whatever you decide, it has been/will be a labor of love for you and us, your worthy disciples. I am sure all of us are sitting on the edge of our seats to see what you decide. Thanks in advance for your efforts!
I would love a pattern/ guidelines for the DK sweater, it is fabulous! I am very small so would need guidelines for reduced sizing. Stitch patterns would be helpful. Love that I could do it while traveling! You are amazing. Thank you for sharing. BG
Wow and wow! Love this story and grateful you decided to share it! I will be heading down this rabbit hole with everyone else! Would love to see how these two pieces inspire the third! Go for it if you are so moved… it might be your new favorite???
Oh, Donna Karan… you truly have a masterpiece. So happy that you wear and enjoy it. Thank you for sharing this and your story with us! Whatever you choose to do, let it make you happy!
I agree with ING—do what makes you happy!I love the DK sweater for its upcycled look! This column was so interesting in terms of production and feasibility of designs! The pink one looks very complicated—like you have to sit in one place and concentrate, while the squares looks like it would be more portable and you could travel with bits and pieces of the project like a piecework quilt!
Even just looking at these is tremendous fun! They’re both remarkable and I love them equally. Mostly though, I look forward to more fabulous creations… Great creative wonderful work!
Both of these beautiful sweaters look like a warm hug. I would wear either snuggled into my reading chair by the fireplace here in chilly Ohio. I am especially taken with the pink style. Please design for us, Samantha! I will be waiting!
Gorgeous. Yes, a pattern is due.
Oh, that DK sweater is amazing!!!!
I would love to see a third design. Evolution!
First – gorgeous, and what wonderful stories! In this, the land of log cabin love, I could see a third sweater of similar shape, using log cabin construction? But really, I’d be interested in any third iteration. I am entranced by the first two, but I am not ambitious enough in my knitting to believe that I would ever attempt those if a pattern were written.
1. We all have swatches around (or should), so a version of a swatch sweater plan would be awesome.
2. Those two sweaters are amazing in design and workmanship.
3. Can’t wait to see a 2025 version of your creativity!
These are unique beautiful. I loved hearing the stories behind them. I would probably never knit something like these sweaters. I am pretty petite, so I think they would not work for me. That is not to say you should not create a new pattern. I am always awestruck by beautiful pieces like these.
I would say make one for yourself. These sweaters are your statement pieces about who *you* are. Your time capsules. Not everything has to be about the hussle. Some pieces can just be about you.
Yes, please. I love the blue sweater and it would work perfectly to get over my wrist brace. Maybe a diagram/follow your own patterns?
I really want to knit the beautiful blue Donna Karan one. Please write the pattern!!!
And thank you.
These are both fabulous! And coincidentally, when I started my knitting career around the same time (early 2000s), I worked for Berta Karapetyan at her NYC store School Products, and would see her and knitters who worked for her working on samples for designers including Donna Karen and others. I wonder if you ever worked with her?
That store was amazing. Off the beaten track to say the least, but you never knew what treasures you’d find. Decades later, I still regret not buying every last bit of the bulky weight Italian cashmere. So jealous that you worked there. Am I right that the shop no longer exists?
Ahhh Donna Karan – in the mid 90s I had a middle school aged daughter. As girls that age do, she experimented with her clothing, creating most unusual ensembles (elbow length gloves anyone.) to the point years later one teacher remarked on her choices and said they would discuss sending her home to change but she never violated any dress code. What I recall from that time was her dressing in black, not a goth era black but a Donna Karan type black wardrobe (with accessories). The esthetic, although with color, continues today. Thank you Samantha for having that influence.
I love this story and I love the photos of that blue, unwieldy treasure. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I vote for a third knit to reflect where you are now in your design life. These sweaters are stunning!
The stitch definition is exquisite. Anyone else thinking of normalizing this design for the Free People brand? My vote is keep that one of a kind art flowing and glowing, gurl…sister knitter friend.
this is so very, very cool and so is your website. I agree — the cream sweater in the Lowe’s ad is awesome. Gotta go to my exercise class, but I’m pretty sure I could spend hours on your website/blog. Are you coming to Nash Yarn Fest???? I would love to meet you in person!!
Love both of these—hope you come up with a third one—easily replicated. I would definitely find the time to knit one.
Love the look …but think beyond my ability…or willingness to pursue…but my interest is high.
The blue sweater is magnificent. It reminded me of Hana https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hana-21 that was discussed on MDK a while ago, except way more organic/OOAK/couture. I would love a recipe for it.
I, too, thought of Hana immediately. I knit that sweater – so fun and I love wearing it.
I thought of Hana too. Also Japanese boro, which must have inspired the dk one. Some knitters have adapted Penguono by Stephen West to be constructed with more patches, but it’s kimono-shaped. I think everyone would love a new pattern for the dk sweater. It’s fabulous.
That blue sweater is gorgeous, I would love to knit a sweater like this, if you were able to write the pattern?
I absolutely love the Blue sweater with the seams on the outside and all the patches, but being about 5 ft. tall, it would overpower me. I would be lost, or worse look huge in it. But I would love to see a sweater using the patches in a sweater someone my height could wear. So that is my challenge for you. It would be somewhat the same, but very different.
Oh yes please. Love the look
These sweaters are beautiful! You could knit a third one, following or riffing on the Patch sweater in Knit Fold Pleat Repeat by Norah Gaughan.
Oh Samantha! That first blue creation captivated me! A guide or schematic would be a ton of fun to play with. And a third sister would be welcome as well. Your creativity makes my jaw drop.
Thank you for sharing this story and evolution of design in your career. I enjoyed it.
The sweaters are Big and complex , made for the runway. We always need these creative creations.
Two thumbs up for the Donna Karan patchwork batwing cardi, but hey – create exactly what you feel like making next. I love the inspiration!
I love the idea of a third sweater that somehow salutes both of these. I have a vest I just wore on vacation last week, adapted from a 30+ year old Donna Karan pattern in Vogue Knitting. And yes, I did make it over 30 years ago. I just realized I need to find a new picture of me wearing the latest version of this – https://ravel.me/Pam/o7l7md I’ve done some tweaks to my original garment over the years.
Yes, yes, yes, you should create a third design. I think it would be awesome to see what you come up with!
OMG!!! Please design a third sweater for us to knit and tell us about it here!
Don’t make it too difficult or complicated, please!
My god, those are both art!! If you feel so inspired, I would also love to see a recipe for another statement cocoon of your creation.
DK Blue is inspirational . Love the batwing element. Love your designs.
Both sweaters are couture items – real one-of-a-kind works of art! The blue one is particularly appealing to me. And guidelines for it would be aspirational!
The only Donna Karan design I ever knitted was the Enchanted Forest https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/25–21-enchanted-forest-cardigan-tree-motif
Which I made with pure alpaca. Within a few hours it had stretched to my knees! But it was very warm.
With the current spotlight on patchwork garment construction, your blue sweater has tremendous appeal. Definitely caught my attention. I’d love to know the method used.
Understanding the technique behind the construction in order to create one’s own cardigan would be amazing. Brings to mind the excitement about Chris Bylsma’s Crayon Box Cardigan that stormed the knitting world 25 years ago. I attended a workshop she gave which enabled just that, learning the technique plus emphasis on individualizing the shape.
Beautiful
I think you ought to offer both and more. You are on to something that appeals to us knitters.
In the 20teens I knit a lot of shrugs and your pink knit looks like them. I do not think the shrugs time came and went. They’re perfect for keeping warm in AND stay out of your working way while wearing.
And people notice.
So go for it!
Yes, a pattern! They are wonderful! The first one could be modified into a sort of recipe/template, rather than an exact pattern, with suggestions for stitches, etc. It would be doable that way.
Absolutely make the pattern! I would be interested in it, at least!
The two sweaters featured are works of art and represent an era in your life. I vote for a new, third pattern you can share with people who love knitting and will certainly put it into production.
O SAMANTHA. You know I COVET that DK patchwork. I would like to just be able to touch it at some point lol….
Re: process this reminds me of the log cabin knitalong a few years back, and the current log cabin sweater knitalong on Instagram. (I think the hashtag is #logcabinsweaterKAL.)
I’ve done this myself with a much more simply shaped sweater that I liked. I used a “regular” stockinette sweater (Relax by Ririko) as a template. I then knit a log cabin square/rectangle that filled the template of the sweater’s front, then I picked up stitches along the top of the log cabin to knit the shoulder and neckline shaping onto it in stockinette.
I think something similar could be done with a big batwing cardigan (if such a pattern exists) and a simplified (or not! you do you!) version of the sewn patchwork. The exposed sewn seams are a big part of the magic for me, so maybe it’s a matter of just knitting a big bunch of odd-sized patches and seaming them together……
One last brainstorm: Instead of a batwing, how about Jeanette Sloan’s Mood Cardigan! https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/patterns/mood-cardigan/. It’s just two rectangles, artfully joined!
And here are links to posts about the log cabin sweater, to give a sense of the methodology I’m talking about. https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/finished-objects-are-closer-than-they-appear/
https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/a-victory-lap-and-a-mini-rant/
Is this the longest comment I have ever left? HA not hardly lol.
OMG. Please design the third. I need to make it. I need to wear it. Then do a workshop at MDK.
They are both beautiful sweaters – I’m more drawn to the blue one. But to answer your question. – I would design one that reflects where you are now. Just an opinion.
These sweaters are incredible! I’d take either of them
And totally wear them
Out. So, I hunky request a 3d sweater. I know I will
Make one of them
And wear it forever. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for sharing your journey with this story! So interesting – and so inspiring. I do hope you will consider evolving the design based on your new knowledge and inspiration. Writing with knitters in mind, instead of how to mass produce, should be liberating. Daunting, maybe! But oh so exciting! Wouldn’t it be amazing to see some many interpretations of it worn by the creators standing on the hill at a future Rhinebeck?
I like the idea of a third design..both of the two existing are WAAY too roomy for me, but moderate oversizing is good. At 5 foot 3 inches, lots of sweaters just overwhelm the body. So, I suggest, do some circles (maybe for sleeves) and some patches using the batwing idea and let’s have fun!
Definitely do a 3d design. I prefer the first one of the two. But still no pattern!?!
Really enjoyed this article…..Inspirational!
So where are the patterns for the two sweaters?
Yes, please keep designing! I’ve also been drawn to sweaters which have an unusual feature for as long as I can remember—a texture or length or kind of wool or pattern or closure which drew me. I wish I could recreate several sweaters I onced loved and parted with. Yet, there is always another project to draw me when I am wondering what to do next.
I admire that you have the skill set to design such amazing prototype sweaters which are complex and beautiful. Yes, why not create another every decade for fun! You are inspiring, please keep it up!
I would love a pattern for the blue patchwork sweater. It is just beautiful.
Please publish a pattern of the blue sweater. I love it and would knit it in a heartbeat.
I adore the 1st sweater and think the 2nd would be a fun challenge. Thats what brings me to the element I hold as a consideration in a 3rd piece: challenge. The first and second were based on a starting set of perameters, and were solved beautifully, in my opinion, even if they weren’t (yet) commercially mass- producably-suited. So, what delectable challenge has been tugging at you this time around? A type of yarn, an overall shape, a toothsome pattern type, a “what if…” piecing puzzle that is longing to be worked through????
That, my friend, seems to be the good type of spark that will continue to give, well after the first stitches are worked.
Much creative good luck/wishes/blessings to you!!!!
Oh please yes come up with a pattern for that blue DK masterpiece!!! I have a purchased (non-handknit) sweater from VANS that is similar but a cropped pullover in cream but this would be even better!
Just Beautiful love the colour
They are both truly masterpieces!!! Extremely beautiful.They would sell like hotcakes.Please make a third … it will be thee one to outshine all .
Love the stories of each sweater in your knitting history. Both so special. I love the ‘batwing’ shape and am in favor of creating a design to share/sell!
Oh Yes you must!
What inspiration. Love the circles sweater! Love how that flows around the body.
Your patchwork one..I recently completed a patchwork garter stitch shawl from a specially spun for the purpose gradient yarn… my mind has connected the two… what if I designed a sweater along the same lines.
Hand knitters love making beautiful things. We love a challenge. “Too hard” isnt really in our vocabulary. It we see beauty… we go for it! We might think it’s too difficult for us but most of us will have a go and generally succeed. We always learn so much this way.
Thanks for sharing.
I’d love a pattern for the blue one!!
Thank you for sharing these two amazing sweaters. I love that these fabulous sweaters are made with heavier yarn. I would be really interested to see a third sweater that reflects your creativity as a knitwear designer.
Such a fun story, Samantha! Love the look of your designs. But am Kitchener-phobic (can do it, have done it, but not crazy about doing it again) and so always – these days – look for the simple designs. But that’s just me and you have triggered over 80 comments saying mostly the opposite. Love the comments from Wendy and others about various Vogue patterns of which yours are in the same category: Unique, inspiring and original. Wendy’s 1984 issue is not the one 1984 issue I still have – I have the Summer one. But I have all from 1989 onwards. Full of designers being as complex and mind-blowing as they (and Vogue editors) want them to be. Go for it! If that’s what you really want to do!
Yes, please keep designing! I’ve also been drawn to sweaters which have an unusual feature for as long as I can remember—a texture or length or kind of wool or pattern or closure which drew me. I wish I could recreate several sweaters I once loved and parted with. Yet, there is always another project to draw me when I am wondering what to do next.
I admire that you have the skill set to design such amazing prototype sweaters which are complex and beautiful. Yes, why not create another every decade for fun! You are inspiring, please keep it up!
Make a third sweater the we mere mortals will enjoy knitting
I’m with my buddy Sara Debo. Schematic and some yarn, guidelines on the shapes and assembly? Those of us who are familiar with modular knitting might have a bit of an advantage. Just seeing it the way you modeled it makes it seem a more accessible. Just fabulous!
Oh yes, I’d love to see a pattern for the earlier sweater – I like the patchwork effect rather than the aran in the second version, and think it’s more modern in style
If you make the pattern for that DK sweater, I will buy it before you can blink. It’s a stunner. Leave the complexity. Experienced knitters will love it and new knitters will learn new skills.
Please, please, please write up a pattern/guide for DK sweater. It’s fabulous. It seems so comfy and fashionable at the same time. We all need more comfort right now. A new sweater would be grand too. Do both!
Hello, yes please! An absolute must. The third sweater is ready to be born. Your journey, and the evolution of wearable art, that can be shared for others to create, continues! I am so excited!!!!
I really like the blue sweater and would join a class to learn how to knit it
Would be very grateful for either pattern. Both are incredibly creative and lovely.
I definitely vote a trifecta! Your sweaters are beautiful.
You SHOULD create a third sweater! Now that you’ve had years between you also have the experience to come up with something TOTALLY NEW!
Keep going -you create UNIQUE items & the crafting world loves them!❤️
I would love to see the first sweater converted into a simpler pattern but with the option to use some yarn scraps. As my stash builds, including some yarns that are not enough to make a sweater but too much for a shawl I like the idea of a sweater that is a combo of several stash yarns.
The actual shape also looks like it could flatter many body types and that appeals to me.
Ohhhhh myyyy goshhhhh! THE ART!!!! These are fabulous! What a tribute to your talents! I would love to make the SOSA sweater!!!! The Donna Karan is spectacular! My goodness. Of course you need to design a sweater for all of us to knit!!!!
I always liked the look and feeling of a cocoon sweater. However, I’m pretty much a novice when it comes to sweaters. I’ve made several that were supposed to be for beginners- intermediate knitters and have frogged many times over and still have errors I know are there. I’d like to try again but could you design a pattern with the wow factor and still be manageable for someone like myself.
I love the first sweater!! The 20 year old. What a masterpiece!! Hope this becomes a pattern!!!
These are amazing sweaters!
Well, since I gasped when I saw the blue one and muttered “ooooo” when the second scrolled up… I guess I’ll be using your roadmap for the one, hoping you’ll share the pattern for the second and encouraging you on to the third!
I echo comments that are more interested in technique and process than a pattern. Great post!
They are all beautiful; they are all incredible; and, yes! you should.
I like the idea of a recipe for the first sweater that many of the comments mention. That way we can all have a unique one of a kind sweater.
I AM ALL SHOUTY BECAUSE OF THE SWEATER! Now that I have calmed down, yes please I would like it very much if you created a little sister to the DK sweater. I’m still very much a beginner knitter but this would take me out of that and teach me something new for sure! I don’t know how long it will take but I will be waiting with needles at the ready!
I also vote for the 1 st one. The Blue….
I would be to have a pattern to “ try “ to make a similar coat….
Wow I love the DK batwing and want to knit one. I also like the cable circles. Please design the patterns so I can begin this adventure! Thanks for sharing.
I have to say that I really like the blue sweater, and it is something I could see myself wearing while watching TV and knitting in my chilly basement or throwing on while I take the dogs for a quick walk. I myself love the idea of some sort of recipe. Like others have said, it looks like a portable project until the assembly. Whether you write this up or not, thanks for sharing your amazing creativity.
Please I need that blue sweater so bad.
The first sweater reminds me of the blanket I made for my son going off to college years ago. I made mine out of a variety of yarn left overs but I didn’t knit or crochet them. I made “potholders” on the loom, I have to say it was fun and very different. The picture of the sweater made me want to use my scraps and potholder loom to make that sweater for myself. Thanks for sharing
YES, Please!!!
If you have the inspiration for a third sweater to join the other two, I say go for it. If you want to make one unique sweater just for you…make. it does not have to be produced.
That is one very neat sweater! If you do create a pattern please find a way we petite people can wear it too! There’s a lot of yardage in there, and I would swim in it otherwise
As a quilter I loved the denim sweater, I have a favourite batwing 100% cotton sweater I just wore to my grandaughters wedding that I made in the 70s. Love your pink sweater, but as a menopausal woman would make me have a meltdown. Enjoy you column. Penny
Love both sweaters, but, I cannot wait to see the next!
Love, love the design of the first sweater.
Pattern please, please!
I would love the patterns. I made the Harry Styles sweater all in beiges and whites.
P
I love the first one best, but it is just too big. Great for the runway but possible to put on the back of a chair in a restaurant.
The circular pink one I find a little bit too girly. I’d Really like to do a smaller version of the angular one. Elegant interesting arresting.
