We’ve all experienced it. It happens every fall, like clockwork: sweater envy. Those luscious tweeds, sinewy cables, plush woolens. Ahhh. It’s the stuff knitter dreams are made of. With the cooler weather at our door, we have assembled a short list of sweaters that we have not-so-secretly been drooling over. Hillary – The Allotrope Twist Sweater, knit in Stroll Sock Yarn, is so soft and snuggly! The cables dress up the sweater while the gradient keeps it modern. The grey and brown would make it match any of my black and brown Fall boots too! |

Each decade provides its own iconic color palette that when you see it years later, it gives you that fantastic nostalgia of a time that seemed so awesome. Like a few of us here in the office, I’m a child of the 80s (and a little bit 90s), and the color palette that throws me back into my childhood in California is definitely neon. |
