Knit a stylish collection of contemporary, colorful sweaters and cardigans from popular author Melanie Berg (Mairlynd). Discover 13 unique designs to suit your style and make you smile!

From rummaging through vintage wardrobes to knitting bespoke pieces, this collection is inspired by Melanie Berg’s personal journey of discovery and creativity. Each of the 13 designs has been carefully selected for its special features – be it an innovative construction, a clever button trick, or the exceptional qualities of a particular yarn. These patterns are crafted to inspire confident knitters to step out of their comfort zones and try something new.

Every pattern can be worked in 7 different sizes and each includes all the necessary charts, illustrations and clear photography, to make construction a breeze. Choose from patterns such as:

• Alive & Kicking: a stunning short-sleeved sweater with a circular yoke, wraparound lace pattern and a flattering kick-out flair
• Cinnamon Dream: a slouchy, cozy dolman-style sweater with lace panels down the front and sleeves
• Quiet City: a cosy, draped poncho with an elegant roll-neck and cale-work detail
• Whisperlike: a seamless top-down knit with ribbing at the waist and neckline, and delicate lacework on the shoulders.

The patterns are interspersed with tips and advice; and at the end, discover how readers have already interpreted Mairlynd’s patterns and made the sweaters their own.

Feederbrook Farm is located in northern Baltimore County, Maryland, and has been family-owned and operated since 1970. They focus on producing high-quality, hand-dyed yarns and fibers from their sheep and from fibers produced by other farmers. They keep a number of breeds of sheep in the flock but are focusing on Teeswater, Blue-faced Leicester (BFL), and BFL Teeswater cross (BLTees). Feederbrook is known for the 2 ply DK yarn line called “ENTROPY”. ENTROPY is designed to mimic the look of handspun yarn. Dyed prior to spinning, this 2 ply Barber Pole has subtle color shifts that make it a unique gradient perfect for any knit, crochet or even woven project. Typically made in Bluefaced Leicester (BFL) wool, this long-staple wool resists pilling and has a smooth handfeel.

This yarn is a showstopper!  Made of a soft and comfortable cotton blend, this yarn combines lots of different textures to make a fun, distinctive yarn.  Hand tied with knots that are meant to show, you can make something sophisticated or rustic!  Due to the unusual nature of this yarn, we HIGHLY suggest knitting a gauge to get the look and feel from the fabric that you want, and to figure out which needle will make the project the size you want.
