The following description is from the magazine: “Ron Schweitzer got the idea for this unisex pullover while viewing a friend’s photograph of a residential water garden in Calcutta. A low wall behind the garden had been masterfully designed using small tiles mirroring the colors and shapes of the water plants and their reflections, perfectly complementing the light and shadow of the water garden.

The Water Garden Fair Isle is constructed in the round in the traditional Fair Isle style, with drop shoulders, only two colors per round, and steeks at the armholes and neck opening. The natural, undyed colors of the Shetland 2000 yarn are ideally suited to this woolen waterscape.“
