Pattern Description from Faith, Hope, Love, Knitting: “Michele’s design style was distinctive. She loved living in Arizona, and the southwest style influenced her work. Her designs often seem more difficult to knit than they really are. her pattern instructions are incredibly detailed, and written for a wide range of sizes. There’s a comfortable ‘wearability’ to Michele’s style of sweater. My sweater follows many of Michele’s design approaches: it’s knit seamlessly,l it’s fun and interesting to knit (while appearing to require more skill than it actually does), and the colors and design are reminiscent of her life in Arizona.”
