From Vogue Knitting, Fall/Winter 1988:
“Annie Modesitt’s oversized cable and stranded pattern pullover is all about the melding of subtle texture and soft coloring - here in sweatshirt grey and natural for a man. But this sweater, with a foldover ribbed shawl collar, could work wonderfully well for a woman, too.”
