Classic yet Modern. Flattering. Comfortable. Versatile. I came up with this list of criteria for sweaters after knitting one too many disappointments. My knitting self-esteem was at an all time low and I despaired of ever making a sweater that did not scream "potato sack"! Then one day I discovered the fabulously wearable designs of
Heidi Kirrmaier. Three and a half sweaters later, I am still amazed by her talent. Not only are Heidi's patterns fun and interesting to knit, they are also clearly written and easy to follow. Her designs are not flashy or trendy, but quiet and filled with simple, lovely details. Wearing one of her sweaters makes me feel like a million dollars. What more can a knitting gal ask for?
praise indeed! I will go and look her up immediately :-)
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I am in the middle of Buttercup right now - it looks lovely! Vitamin D has been on my to do list for ages too :)
ReplyDeleteYour jumpers all look great! You know a designer is a good one when everyone's results are uniformly adorable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing me to someone new! I love classic designs that don't go out of style.
ReplyDeleteOkay, you're not the first person to mention Miss Heidi... I believe I will have to do some investigating because those sweaters, especially the green Nanook, are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work - from both the designer and the knitter!

ReplyDeleteooooooooooooooh nanook is beautiful, i have got to add that to my list!!! thanks for sharing and have a knitty wednesday xxx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, every single one! It's funny, I've seen each one of these patterns dozens of times, but I never twigged that they were all by the same designer! I'm definitely going to have to pay more attention to her designs now, especially since I've recently decided that I must.have. a Vitamin D cardigan!
ReplyDeleteThey all look beautiful! I've also been a fan of her designs for a long time, but I haven't knit anything yet, although I have many in my queue. I think it's time I try one of her patterns. I love the green you're using for your Nanook!
ReplyDeleteThe sweaters look fantastic! It's great to find a designer that suits you so well :)
ReplyDeleteI've not knit any of her designs but can absolutely see her appeal! I love your Nanook.
ReplyDeleteYour projects are fabulous and her designs are definitely classic and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour green Nanook is great!
ReplyDeleteHeh heh potato sack. I've made a few of those. Oh man, I love that Nanook, the color + the design, amazeballs!
