Port Isaac is the name of the town where the British TV series "Doc Martin" is filmed. It's just gorgeous! This relaxed raglan pullover would fit in beautifully in this little seaside town. The body and sleeves are knit in the round to the armholes, where the instructions offer 2 yoke versions – a seamed yoke where the pieces are worked separately, then sewn together, and a seamless yoke where the back, front, and sleeves are joined together and worked in one piece to the shoulders; it's your choice.

Like many knitters, I learned how to knit from my mother at an early age, then promptly forgot as life got in the way. I returned to it for a short time as a student in Paris when a friend convinced me to try it again. The third time was the charm—my mother retaught me while I was in grad school. I was tired of trying to find sweaters with long enough sleeves to fit my 6′ frame, so I decided I’d just make my own. I fell madly in love with knitting, and eventually slipped into designing for myself when I began reworking existing patterns with elements that I liked better. And, of course, adjusting the sleeve and body lengths.
