I had been looking for a very long time for a good sweater pattern that I could make for my husband. He's got great taste-- a man dedicated to the classics, be it film, music, food, or fashion. Which made it ironically very difficult to find a pattern that would suit his discerning tastes!
So many patterns out there are to be different, and you end up with these wacky creations that look, well... homemade. Sorry if I offend anyone. But simplicity often is the hardest thing to achieve, and in my life, simplicity rules. Whether it's cooking, design, or clothes, less is more in my book and it was tough to find something that met that demand.
Finally, one day at the knit shop I came across a pattern by a New Zealand company called Naturally. It was perfect! A basic sweater, with two mid-chest stripes, and an optional faux turtle neck finish. I could do this!
And... so far... it's working! I'm done with the back, working up the front just the same and can't wait to finish it.
It's true, April in the Rockies isn't necessarily sweater season... but my hope is come fall he'll be rocking the new sweater in style!
