Quilted Sweater/Jacket |Contemporary

This group of sweaters is what I started with, over fifteen years ago. They have grown and evolved each year. They combine traditional patterns and my own designs to make unique classics – future heirlooms. They have been up-dated and improved, as I try new patterns or find different ways of doing things.

Most of these sweaters are custom-made, so you can choose the style, size, motif, yarn, and color combination. They have the traditional K2/P2 ribbing at the neck, cuffs, and bottom, often with a thin band of accent color at the edge; but they also can be made with the more-contemporary rolled hem, if preferred.

For children's sweaters, unless noted in the description, I use machine-washable wools and cottons
   - "Lamb's Pride Superwash" from Brown Sheep Co. and
  - "Cotton Classic" from Tahki/Stacy Charles, Inc.
  - "Country 8 ply and Encore worsted" from Plymouth Yarn Co.

For adult sweaters, I use primarily "Lamb's Pride", but sometimes, "Nature Spun", both from Brown Sheep Co.; and "Cotton Classic II" from Tahki.

The Fairisle and Solid Designs and Honeycomb Vest use "Highland" from Harrisville Designs and "Double Twist" from Green Mountain Spinnery.

I offer certain color combinations, as seen in the pictures, but I hate having to make the same one too many times, so I welcome your suggestions!

You can choose specific colors using the color chart from each company, or offer suggestions; then I can choose what goes well together.

You can e-mail me and talk about other colors available.

If you would like to place an order, simply click on the "purchase" button under your choice, and make the selections that are suggested. Follow the simple guides through to the end, then let me know how you want to pay for the purchase. You may call at any time at 978-448-9279 or e-mail me.
