my fall sweaters for JCA
These are the sweaters that ate half of my first year of grad school. The cabled pullover is in Reynolds "Blizzard", a big, fat, luxuriously soft and warm alpaca blend, and the hooded jacket is in Reynolds "Whiskey", a lightweight wool that's perfect for colour patterning. I think you could probably get your LYS to order the pattern booklets if they don't already carry them.

wow! these are so great jodi, well done. i love the plaid pattern on the hooded jacket especially. i have entire cardigan in that pattern, my oldest surviving UFO (from i think around 92).

I LOVE your sweater designs. I have made so many of them and plan to make more! They are modern and appealing and I totally love them. I wish you all the best in your work - both printing and knitting. Your work is beautiful.

They look great! Blizzard is one my favorite yarns to fondle (um, sorry if that sounds pervy); a whole sweater of it would be so cozy.

Well done, Jodi -- both are really great.
(Re: a few posts back, I'm loving Ms. Marigold on you and now want one for myself.)

Gorgeous. I love the combination of the modern shape with the traditional cabling and colorwork. Congratulations on having them in print!

Lunch. Yes. Next week?

I really like the patterns that you've been doing. I've heard about JCA on a few different blogs, but I'm not sure what that is. Is it a brand of yarn?

Great job, Jodi! I like them both a lot!

Gah! the cables on that are delish. I dont' have the mind power to knit cables or a sweater right now... but I loved knitting Mariah, and I'll definitely be knitting another one of your sweaters again :) you rock.
You need to do a baby sweater pattern...... ;) you can use Ruby as your model.

Those are beautiful, especially the plaid one.

these are absolutely lovely, both of them. i particularly like and could see myself making the hooded sweater. great job!

Those are great Jodi, just great. Thanks a lot. No really, thank you for putting more patterns out into the world that I want to knit. As if I have enough time for all this.
yeesh.
Darned Hoodie.
