Sweet & Simple website?

okckwilter · 04-05-2012, 11:06 AM

I'm pretty sure it's here that Sweet & Simple has been mentioned several times for top-down sweater patterns. I've become obsessed with finding the "perfect" pattern for a springy sweater for myself using KnitPicks Comfy Sport yarn. Of course, now that I want it, I can't find the Sweet & Simple website back and Google has failed me! I'd appreciate it if someone could post the URL for me. Thanks!

That's cuz it's PURE and Simple.

DUH! Of course it is! Now that you say that, I know that perfectly well!

You can bet it's bookmarked now! Many thanks for setting me straight!

Knitty.com has two springy top-down sweaters in their latest issue (or is it three sweaters?), so you might check those out, too. Pssstt . . . they're free!

Plus, here's one that I'm currently working on (which is on knitty.com, too, but I'm not sure if they've fixed the errata there, so linking it from Ravelry): http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/arleen

Good luck in your quest!

I don't see Arleen at knitty, but the site is a good source for pattern.

It's at the link I posted on Ravelry, and it seems to be a fairly easy knit with the first rows being knit flat (for button flap) and then you join to knit in the round.

Yeah I've seen the pattern on ravelry, I thought you meant it was also on knitty. May have misunderstood that part of it.

edit - no you did say it was a knitty pattern, and I don't find where it was ever there.

Well, I've only knit a few things here, but that's one thing I haven't come across in the Knitting Pure and Simple patterns..errata. I love that they are written well and easy to understand for the most part. Worth it to pay a few bucks IMO if you like the pattern.

Very cute sweater! I've added it to my Ravelry queue for future reference. For now, I'm still on a quest for that elusive "perfect" pattern using sport weight yarn. I'll have to wait until I get home today to check out Knitty.com patterns. For now, since I'm supposed to be working...

Thanks!

I just realized you said sport weight. I don't know if any of the Knitting Pure and Simple patterns are that weight. Most are worsted and a few DK I think. You'll have to check though.
