Fiddle Knits Designs & The Sweater Project
So I had this crazy idea… 
You
see, as a performing musician I get to spend a lot of time in the car.
For me a lot of time in the car means a lot of time that I spend
daydreaming and scheming up new ideas. On one particular drive my mind
began wandering to sweaters and sweater design. I don’t know if this
train of thought was more inspired by the current sweater project I was
working on, or by the fact it was a frigid 9 degrees outside and I
could hear, and feel, the wind howling through any available seams in
our van and what I wanted most of all in that moment was to be snuggled
up in a comfortable handknit and not getting ready to unload massive
amounts of sound equipment and instruments. But that’s not important.
However it happened, I had an idea. I had an idea that I got so excited
about within the first 30 seconds of it’s conception that I knew I had
better just do it.
My idea was this — I would design and knit a sweater in one month and document the entire thing here on my blog. I’m planning on putting all of it out there for the world to see. All the different ideas along with every frustration, mistake, and success. Once the design is complete I will publish the pattern along with the it’s entire story in an e-book type format.
I know my last post said this new idea wasn't happening yet and to stay tuned near the end of February, but.... I changed my mind. (Surprise surprise!) Project Sweater Design gets underway tomorrow. Check back often!
