We can't wait to see the results!
Our Suggestions

Every Stitch Counts (Knit)
This customizable sweater features a cropped high/low hem and plenty of options for knitting to your preferred style. The boxy, oversized fit is comfortable and flattering. Pattern includes instructions to adjust the length, add patch pockets and two different options for finishing your neckline (cowl or crew). Choose to knit your sweater in one color or select a contrast color to knit the hem, sleeve cuffs, and pockets.

Sorrel (Knit)
Sorrel is knit top-down, seamlessly in the round using one strand of sock yarn held with one strand of mohair silk lace. The yoke features richly textured linear dip stitches (don’t worry if you’re unfamiliar with this type of tucked/smocked stitch, it’s easy and a video tutorial is included with the pattern!) and a reverse stockinette body- knit inside out so you don’t have to purl the entire time.

Taroko Sweater (Crochet)
A colorful short sleeve sweater with a round yoke and lace elements throughout. It was inspired by Taroko National Park in Taiwan and its lush green mountains and waterfalls, which are bursting with life and beauty. The body of the sweater can be made cropped or as long as you want and the neck is wide for extra comfort.

Hana (Knit)
This sweater has an oversized box silhouette. Hana sweater is knitted flat and the front and back are each made up of three pieces, that are knitted using a modular technique. Once the body and sleeves are finished, the shoulders, sleeves and body seams are sewn together by embroidery.

Carbeth Swan Dance (Knit)
A large-gauge, oversized, and simply structured sweater. Openwork swans dance their way across the panels at sleeves, front and back. Two very different yarns are held together when knitting this sweater. This interesting combination of a sheepy woollen spun bulky yarn with a light-as-air silk / alpaca laceweight creates a beautiful marled fabric with a slight halo.
