Every sweater holds memories and tells a story. I can look at a finished piece and remember what was happening while knitting it. Some projects hold happy memories, others might remind me of more challenging periods in my life while also reminding me of my perseverance. The Storyteller is a top-down, seamless yoke sweater that begins with two neckline options: crew, or slightly more open. DK or worsted weight yarn make for quick knitting and this fun colorwork yoke is hard to put down! Choose a solid color for your colorwork, multicolored yarn, or create your own gradient with colors in your stash.
