The idea for these contemporary sweaters came to me in a dream
Im not kidding! That day I had visited The Gatehouse in W. Concord,
MA and was inspired by all the bright colors voila!
They are available in several different styles but
each one can be different by varying your choice of color,
yarn, cardigan or pullover style, length or button type.
The childrens version has a rolled collar, cuffs and bottom, dropped
shoulders and a boxy style. The adult version is generally cropped, coming
to the hip, with a band of garter-stitch at the bottom, a lower feminine
rolled collar and set-in sleeves with rolled cuffs.
There is a longer (L) style available in some of the patterns, falling
at the upper thigh.
If you would like to place an order, simply click on the "purchase"
