The actual patterns are a dream to follow and I really enjoyed the process.
One of the great things about Holli is her ability and willingness to use different techniques in her work. If you’re willing to learn, the result is a better finished item and an increase in knitter knowledge.
That’s what I like about your sweaters. They are interesting both from the front and the back.
Loved your clear instructions and the interesting design elements kept me engaged. I was so pleased with how it was turning out that I was driven to finish!!
The garments all manage that magical casually elegant vibe. They are the sort of pieces you can imagine wearing just about anywhere, which means you’ll wear them everywhere.

Pattern
Diamonds Are For Everyone
Richly textured geometric patterning and a unisex fit make for a truly timeless pullover. The firm, strongly defined lines of twisted stitches form tiled layers across the body and run down the sleeves in a single line, grounded with smooth stocking stitch.
Tutorial
Stretchy Twisted Bind Off for Ribbing
This is my latest favourite way to bind off for toe-up socks. There’s a spring built into this bind off that allows it to stretch over the heel when pulling on socks.
And I’ve got to say, I really quite like the zigzag effect when viewed from above.
