Kathy's kersti sweater

Last week Kathy came in wearing her beautiful, just-finished, Kersti sweater. It took a little cajoling, but she let us take this picture so we could share it with you.


Kathy's been knitting longer than anyone at Loop. She possesses a wealth of knitting knowledge and a seemingly limitless supply of patience, as many of our local customers know. Like many experienced knitters, she doesn't always use a pattern, which is the case with her latest creation.

Kathy chose a stitch pattern, did a few calculations, and started knitting. She did some experimenting and re-knit sections that she wasn't pleased with. The result is a spectacular sweater that fits perfectly. It's a great example of what you can do when you leave a pattern behind and get adventurous with your knitting.

Thanks again for letting us take that picture, Kathy!
