Cedar Pullover KAL

This sweater means more to us than we can possibly say. Ever since we saw the first sneak peak of Joji Locatelli’s design (and knowing the stories behind it!), we’ve been bursting with happiness and love for our dear friends Tracie and Jodi–and so much pride for our little town of Cedar. We had the honor of hosting the Grocery Girls (and their extra special surprise guest Joji) here in July, and it was pure joy to see these friends enjoy each other’s company in this little part of the world we love so much.

In the words of the designer…..
“I designed this sweater in honor of my beautiful friend Jodi, as a tribute for her Birthday. Jodi likes minimal details, she likes circular yoke sweaters and cool fibers, so I picked a beautiful linen yarn to design this for her. In July 2019 we were so lucky to spend a week together visiting the town of Cedar. It was a time to relax, knit together and tell stories. I named this sweater to remind us of that wonderful time and place.”
