It’s all in the details with this classic neutral crochet sweater! What first drew me to this design were the details along the neckline. The combination of puff stitches and cable stitches really elevate an otherwise basic neutral sweater. And while I love a good basic, I love an elevated basic (a term you’ve probably […]
I’ve always been a fan of olive green. Whether it’s gracing my sleeve or floating in my martini stuffed with blue cheese. In today’s post, I’m delving into the former – this soft and cozy olive green crocheted sweater. Perfect for date night and a whole flight of martinis, this project came to life quickly […]
I have had this project finished since before we moved to Amsterdam, and I’m just now getting around to shooting and sharing it with you.
