Deco Wave Pullover
Oops, I did it again. “It” meaning knit a sweater that’s a cross between a tennis player from 1922 and a babysitter from 1985. There was definitely a resurgence of some 1920s styles in the 1980s. I’m basing most of this on the dress my mom wore to her rehearsal dinner in 1989 – cobalt…

Diamond Pullover
This sweater falls into the sweet spot on the Venn diagram between things I want to wear on a boat and things that remind me of my fashion paper dolls. I found it in a Google Image search while I was looking for some vintage knitting inspiration and I think I did a reasonable job…

Bicycle Sweater
I don’t know if this counts as an abandoned knitting project seeing as I never actually started it, but I did sketch it sometime back in 2013 fresh from a rainy day trip to Savannah. I went as far as dropping some squares in MS Paint, and then immediately forgot about it. Probably because the…
