Designing a Sweater...Yes, I want to do this.

We're leaning towards sweater season and I want to design my own. A top down yoked seamless sweater. Some color work and a bit of lace. These were my initial thoughts.

In regards to #handmadewardrobe I'm hoping to start designing a fun and funky group of patterns with a Portland theme. Can I over the next twelve months design (in no particular order) design...

1) Sweater,
2) Cardigan,
3) Cowl,
4) Bandanna cowl,
5) Socks,
6) Scarf,
7) Throw,
8) Hat, and
9) Bag?

You'll notice that a shawl is not on the list, but that could easily be done with the modification of the bandanna cowl. While working on my current test for another designer (less than 150 stitches to cast off as of this current moment), I started drafting a stitch pattern for the cowls, which I'm hoping can be used in other patterns in this group as well. I'm hoping to have both knit and crochet designs and I'm super excited to get those patterns moving. Anyone interested in testing some color work knitting? I was thinking about trying Yarnpond and there are a few interested testers in my pool already.

Here is an early image of the test I'm trying to complete :).

Back to the test and I hope to have lots to share next weekend. Happy crafting.
