A selection of shop samples knit by some amazing sample knitters and some FO's knit by yours truly.
I've recently come to terms with the fact that I knit a lot of sweaters that I think are beautifully designed but just aren't something I reach for and wear...ever. I think almost every single sweater I'm listing here has never been worn. If it has, it's been once for a very short period of time.
All FO's come from a smoke-free, pet-friendly home!
