You guys - this sweater has CAPTIVATED my imagination ever since I first saw it. All I did was highlight it on the Knitting Fantasies segment of my weekly podcast, and then I couldn’t stop thinking about how amazing it would look in WHITE.
What if, I thought, I used many shades of white in different textures?! Maybe a tiny bit of speckle. Lots of interesting bases to add texture. And then I thought - WHAT IF I MADE KITS?! And here we are.
Most of the kits in my shop are always available, but this is a LIMITED KIT. I am making a fixed number of them and then they will no longer be available.
