The actual patterns are a dream to follow and I really enjoyed the process.

Holli is a designer who cares a lot about garment tailoring and structuring and altering and fit. That aspect of her focus comes through her work because of the details she includes and she tells people how to alter things and how to fix stuff.

Thanks for taking the work out of knitting…now the fun will begin

I loved knitting this … fantastic pattern so well written … looks great too!
