Patterns Sweaters
Where can I get an Irish Aran fisherman’s sweater knitting kit complete with patterns & knitting needles?
Shannon (airport) Irish Imports used to have it some years ago in their catalog. I’ve tried other Irish catalog sites but couldn’t find it. It came in two colors: natural and the dark shade.
I’m not familiar with sweater kits that include the knitting needles. The only kits that I have seen that include needles are mostly for beginners. One reason would be that each knitter have their gauge/tension when knitting. Another is that knitters have their own preference of knitting needle (straights, circular, metal, bamboo, etc).
I prefer putting together my own kit, so that I can choose the yarn and pattern.
Some books with sweater patterns are:
“Knitting The New Classics: 60 Exquisite Sweaters From The Studios Of Classic Elite” by Kristin Nicholas
“Arans & Celtics: The Best of Knitter’s Magazine” by Kathy Zimmerman
Here are some that sell the kits (pattern & yarn):
