Meet Jerry, named after a Maine captain and lobsterman who spends his days hauling traps and reading the tides. Like its namesake, this cabled pullover is all about quiet strength and honest work. Designed by Paul Haesemeyer and worked in Hawk, our alpaca–merino tweed, Jerry balances structure and softness through a mix of traditional stitches: bold center cables cascading down sleeves and chest, crisp 1x1 ribbing, and the rhythmic rise and fall of fan-and-feather. Worked from the bottom up in pieces, neck ribbing is picked up and knit in the round.

First introduced in our Mystery Knit Along with Pam Allen , the Winging It cap is knit in our alpaca/wool blend, Plover. The idea for this cap emerged from two converging inspirations. The first was an image of an elegantly elongated cap featured in Knitting in the Nordic Tradition by Vibeke Lind ( Lark Books , 1984), a style Pam had long admired and hoped to reinterpret. The second spark came directly from Plover itself.
