From Both of Us — Pickpocket

Filed under: Updates — Both Sisters @ 1:59 pm

We are so proud to be able to launch our newest collaboration: Pickpocket!  This has been in the works for months…we hoped for a September 1st release, but decided instead to ruin Sally’s anniversary weekend! 🙂

Pickpocket has a choice of six fun pockets (plus three additional choices using the reverse sides), a flattering boxy shape, unique i-cord knot at the neckline, and a split hem. Fun to make and fun to wear!!

Here is Sally’s Pickpocket being modelled by her lovely daughter, Nora:

And here is Susan’s Pickpocket:

The idea behind the name is that you pick your pocket – from 6 options (3 more when the reverse sides of some of them are included):

The other cute touch is the i-cord knot at the neckline:

We chose the boxy shape because it is flattering to almost everyone.  There are 7 sizes included.  The prototypes were knit in Brooklyn Tweed Shelter.  Susan is knitting another one for her daughter in Berocco Vintage which looks great so far!

A little added feature — Susan fixed a basic problem with Brioche Knitting — check out the Brioche Pocket…more on this little gem later.

Hope you like it!!

  6. Pick Pocket is amazing! Hundreds of hours to bring this to us. So cleverly done! Thank you.

  7. Gem is right. This I will buy. It has everything I want in a sweater these days. Simplicity. But also character because of the details and the yarn choice. A great neckline. The perfect amount of ease. Pockets. Versatility. But not till October. September’s knitting budget has already been busted. And it will give me time to get a handle on some of my queue so that I can jump into this project right away. BTW, It looks just as good on Susan as it does on Nora. Thank you both so much. Chloe
