If you like colorwork in your sweater, but aren’t comfortable with working stranded (Fair Isle) knitting, Windham is the pattern for you! You only ever work with one color at a time, slipping the stitches that you will work in the other color on the following two rows. This makes it so easy to enjoy color in your knitting. Windham is worked 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.
