I would like to say a big thank you, if you have recently purchased the Easy Aran Pullover pattern.
I designed and made this jumper when I was living in Shetland. It is a very easy version of the Dear Susan pattern that is in 10 sizes. The Easy Aran is in just one relaxed size.
Quite a few people have recently bought my Easy Aran Pullover pattern and I have seen some very lovely versions on personal colour choices of the knitters. they can be seen in projects on Ravelry.
I designed this jumper with people who wanted an easier option to make a traditional Shetland motif yoke sweater and the result was a very lovely go to jumper.
The pattern also has a 10 page story with it, about my life in Shetland and a woman called Susan Halcrow, who owned the house that I bought from 1876 to 1960
Living in Shetland seems a long time ago now but I do know that my time there shaped my thinking and design ideas for my patterns.
Here is the Easy Aran Pullover https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/easy-aran-pullover-2 Let me know if it is something that you would like to have a go at. Happy knitting. Tracey
Above is a beautiful example of the Easy Aran Pullover, knitted by charhutchw on Ravelry. The image shows how much you can make it your own.
