mariah

My first ever published design. The sweater is named after Mariah Claire, my partner's beautiful and brilliant daughter, who was a constant presence throughout the design process, and was learning to knit while I was struggling with charting the cable, providing frequent interruption and needed relief.

The pattern is available in the winter 2004 issue of Knitty.
