What was your inspiration?

my sweater design sprssling needed a sibling. because as much as i wanted another one, i wouldnt mind if the next one was in a different stitch pattern and maybe had a v-neck instead of a round one.

the plan was to replicate all the things we love about sprssling and at the same time, give it a fresh new look. so were keeping the pretty (and very flattering) inset shaping lines, the vertical openwork stitch pattern, the ever-so-slightly ribbed fabric, and most importantly, the fit.

the changes include a v-shaped neckline, a different stitch pattern, sizes that fall between the ones in the original pattern, and a short sleeved option. this version is also specifically designed for silkier yarns which have more drape and give.

What are you most proud of?

i am so lucky to have special people to work with in this businesshere we are again, chris and me, making something pretty with her yarn. i dont know how many times weve done this thing together now, but i always look forward to the next one.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

you can absolutely use a bouncier yarn, but you may want to plan in a little more ease.

I'm not much of a cardigan knitter but yours made me go aaahhh. I noticed that you have others completed and they are just as beautifully made.
