Designed by Suzy Allen
Suzy Allen is a self-taught indie designer who loves working with local yarns. She is inspired by the natural world around her. When she saw the cherry Simply Fine she knew exactly what she wanted to design – a tunic with a fresh air feel! Falling leaves, her favorite boots and a pumpkin spice latte was her inspiration for Aria.

Designed by Eric Robinson during a cross country train journey (and what could be more romantic than that?), this versatile wrap is designed for adventurous knitters who want to try their hand at lace. Cropped, hip-length or even longer, this raglan slip-on is elegant in Sylvan Spirit, Alpaca Elegance or Cotton Comfort.

For lovers of lace knitting, the shell features a deep but delicate border inspired by Barbara Walker’s design of the same name. A simpler lace borders neck and sleeve, contrasting nicely with the smooth stockinette body. Our original model in Luminosity Sylvan Spirit is fit for a bride; the second model, in Cotton Comfort, is equally appealing.

The corn on the cob stitch makes a thick, dense fabric that will keep your hands warm all winter long. Its deep texture is deceptive, making it look like four colors are used instead of just two.

These are actually mittens inside of mittens. Although the double knitting is slower than regular knitting, your hands will thank you for the extra effort when they are toasty warm all winter long. And a bonus – there is no right or left, so you can wear them on either hand.
Local designer and musician Eric Robinson created these whimsical and functional quick-to-knit wrist warmers to wear in her chilly piano room – necessity was the mother of invention. Now you can have warm hands and a warm heart while you work or play.

Designed by Amy Christoffers for Green Mountain Weekend
Amy, whose business is “Savory Knitting”, has designed many savory things for our cold Vermont winters. She designed these warm mittens knowing that our weekend weather can be unpredictable – we’ve had plenty of snow at both our October and March weekends. Amy came to Putney in the fall of 2012 to teach students how to design their perfect sweater, using lace or other stitch patterns.
