Simsbury
It’s been an amazing experience designing independent knitting patterns these last 12+ years. And throughout it, the many life changes, including a fantastic full-time job, have pulled me from my ability to maintain the upkeep and customer service needed. I’ve decided to close the store and retire all the patterns. It may not be forever, but I need to follow my heart towards other projects for now.
My patterns and pattern support will no longer be available after August 1, 2021.
Until that date, please enjoy a closing discount of 50% off on all patterns (no coupon code needed). Thank you for so many years of support and knitting!
Simsbury is the ultimate in ‘comfort sweater.’ Hints of texture and lace, slight positive ease, a plunging v-neck, and extra long sleeves make it perfect for those cold winter nights when all you want to do is cozy up to something warm.
The sweater is worked flat, in pieces, then seamed for superior fit and structure.
