Sweetheart Cardigan  

            Green Daisy

            View Sweater Detail.
How did the sassy become a sweetheart? We tamed it, that's how! We've made the sweater longer, with the same fitted shoulders and a darling V-neck that leaves you room to breath. Try a solid knit, or a two- tone option for a truly unique look.
This pattern is a gem. Meticulously written to give you a sweater that not only looks great, but feels great on you. Knit in a clean stockinette stitch with tidy ribbing around the edge and cuffs for comfort. Buttonband is done with a double rib stitch to add to the overall look.
Nothing "frumpy" about this cardigan. Here seen in Dolly's Choice knit with Lauren's Coral and Anna's Grasshopper.
This kit now comes with Green Daisy buttons because we are currently out of the buttons that are shown on the sweater modeled by Dolly to the right. Sizes36-48".

Siberian Woodsman's Sweater



A well, worn, faded "Pete's Choice" on Pete.
       This is a fitted yet roomy style sweater. The Adult Unisex sizes may be knit in a 3-color combination or in a solid color. We designed this sweater years ago during the Cold War with the Soviet Union. The kit comes with the very beautiful and powerful poem "Ode to a Siberian Woodsman" by Wendell Berry.

     Mr. Berry writes in 1985 of his mental image of a Russian woodcutter living in the Siberian forest and asks silently of this woodsman far away "Who has appointed me such anger that I should desire the burning of your house or the destruction of your children?"

     After 20 years of living here on our farm and running Peace Fleece we are happy to say that Russia and the United States have not destroyed each other and that our family has been blessed by knowing and caring for so many new friends that were strangers in 1985.

     Each kit includes a pattern, yarn, the Wendell Berry's poem, a story by Pete and a sew on label.Sizes 38-50.

  Father/Son Pullover
"We are enjoying one of the snowiest winters in recent memory. When Bonnie knit me this sweater, I put it on and did not take it off for three months. I got the steel roof on the new barn, logged next winter's firewood and drove to Omaha, Nebraska, all in my Father/Son Pullover. It was a hit both in the woods and on the road and it is, without doubt, the most comfortable sweater I have ever worn." Peter     View yarn colors.

"This week I finished knitting my tenth Peace Fleece sweater (Father's Gray)
and started the eleventh (Baghdad Blue). A gorgeous Father's Gray
cardigan is buttoned on as I write this...wearing sweaters knit from
your wonderful yarn is like wearing a warm hug. I may eventually have
a sweater from every color you offer! Many thanks for making such a
fine product available for knitters who love warmth and color." Best Regards, Kris
