When I was a child, we occasionally went to the boardwalk at Seaside Heights, New Jersey. It was a place of fun and wonders, with games, amusement park rides, and junk food of every kind. This top feels soft, easy, and summery, and reminds me of summer evening walks on the boardwalk. It's worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together.

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.
