Were proud to introduce Vintage™, our new instant classic. Vintage is a soft wool, acrylic and nylon blend that is unlike any other machine-washable blend. Knitting with Vintage is effortless and the finished fabric is soft and easy to care for, suitable for any wearer. I named the Vintage™ Booklet Arts and Crafts as a nod to the age group it was designed for. While the sizes do go all the way up to a ladies large, the focus here was on the often ignored tween set which ranges from around 8 to 12 years old. I hoped to recapture the joy of crafting with sweaters like Miroux, that call for fabric covered buttons and Diorama which requires scads of buttons. I also kept comfort in mind, aiming for sweaters that will be easy to wear, like Stefane, which has built in handwarmers and Gondry, a hoodie with a deep neckline that is easy to take on and off. I hope you enjoy reconnecting with your inner tween, or sharing this collection with the tweens and teens in your life. As usual, weve put together a collection of exclusive close-ups and alternate views in our audio
slideshow. Norah and I discuss our favorite details and share stories from behind the scenes. Wishshaw is a long cardigan coat, knit in Comfort® Chunky, emblazoned with diagonal chevron texture and deep ribbing at the cuffs and hems. Knit and modeled in a size L, this sweater has an urban sensibility with a country house comfort.
Happy knitting,
