Speaking of Cookie A’s new pattern collection, remember that Alessandra Marchi cardigan I was drooling on back in February? I had thought at some point I’d work out how to knit a version of it for myself, but Cookie has saved me from the figuring. There are a lot of knitwear designers playing around with this sort of origami garment approach, so it’s not surprising to see two such similar sweaters, but Cookie’s version has an enticing stitch pattern and simpler construction, and would make me at least as happy as the Marchi one.

If only I had the time (and yarn) to make all the sweaters in my mental queue ….
