I was never a comics fan. I blame geography. In a job interview years ago I was asked who my favorite superhero was, and I named Superman because that was the only one I knew. (Yes, IT interviews can be interesting)…anyway… my love for Marvel stemmed from movies that opened up a huge universe of characters and plot lines. If you love a good story, you can’t help loving those who created it. And of course these cameos were always perfect. Hence my tribute to Stan Lee, we will miss you. Even those of us who didn’t read the comics.

This cardigan is knit top down, using the Contiguous method developed by Susie Myers, that imitates the set-in sleeve. It’s seamless and the only finishing that you will do is buttons and neck bands. The cardigan features graphic cable on the back, faux seams and rolled neck for a clean polished look.

There is also a matching Cameo hat
