Starboard Rock is my idea of the perfect, easy-to-wear everyday sweater. It has a clean, modern shape that looks good on any body type, enough ease to be comfortable and elegant detailing on the neck and shoulder for a special look. Knit in gorgeously hand-dyed Skein Sport (a yarn I have yearned to knit with for many years), Starboard Rock will quickly become one of your favorites!
