Cider - by Tin Can Knits

I love the timeless quality of knitting. While many things change, there are always some fundamental things that stay the same. With cable motifs as old as time, Cider embraces that quality of knitting. It’s a sweater that looks as at home on my grandfather as it does on my daughter.
