Axe, it's just beautiful. I wish my hubby was more inclined to wear sweaters because I'd love to knit something like this for him.

"Saudade"?... That is a portuguese word! LOL! I always read your blog and finding this word just left me speechless!! :D!

By the way... love the sweater! A definite "must knit for hubby"!!!

Hi AuntieX, Regina, Jen, eyeleen!! Thank you!

Ana, 'saudade' is one of my FAVORITE words in the world. There isn't really a translation for it in English, but it's a feeling I get all the time. Beautiful and sad all at once. I love it. And for your kind words on the sweater - obrigado!

That is a great sweater, but please, Axelle, could you do a women's version too ? I want one!

Beautiful! Finally a design my hubby will actually wear! May I ask a favor? My daughter is visiting Paris next week with a school group, are you in Paris? Can you tell me a great knit shop she could visit, I've instructed her not to go so far without returning safely and with at least a few balls of yarn! We live in the States so I'm a bit nervous having a 14-year-old go so far, but she is a beautiful knitter and will haunt knit shops more than 'trouble'. Again, love the sweater, can't wait to cast on!

Hi Tyna! The best place I can think of to go for yarn in Paris is La Droguerie. There is a boutique on the 4th (I think) floor of Le Bon Marche, the department store (Metro: Sevres-Babylone), as well as the main shop which is at 9, Rue Jour (metro: Les Halles)
tel: +33 1 45 08 93 27. The shop is small, but it's crammed with the most adorable bits and bobs - it gets anyone's creative juices flowing!

I hope your daughter enjoys Paris. It's one of my favorite places on the planet!

Where do you find such gorgeous people to model your knits, Axelle? This and the car coat are simply beautiful.

Cornflower, thank you! I just might! We'll see...

Katinka! Thank you so much. And I must tell you that the Fringed Sagewort looks amazing on Mr K.

Hi Chris! Check back when the website is up (www.sauveterredesign.com). I know it's been dragging along a bit but once it's ready, the pattern should be available in the gallery section.

I am very interested in purchasing the pattern and the yarn in this color way. Will they become available soon?
