The last three garments I've knitted have been "Fisherman Sweaters."

They may be trendy, but they're always classic.

(I'm taking a short break from fair-isle work.)

Trendy and classic.

Do you have a signature pattern?

I read once that's how they IDed men of the fishing fleet who had drowned.

I don't have a signature pattern, but I have a favorite one. Bernat published it in the 1960s. I knitted it twice in the early 1970s, and I've just now knitted it twice again.

Here is a photo of someone else's work on the same pattern. (This is from a site knitters frequent, so I hope you can see it even if you are not a member.)
