Mary is an incredible knitter. Her favorite thing to knit is cables. One of her friend's saw her knitting a sweater and said,"Will you make me a sweater to wear at the beach?" So, this is the sweater she knit for her friend. Mary did it in Blue Sky Alpacas Skinny Dyed, color Glacier. The pattern is from the book Rowan Classic Beach, pattern name is Driftwood. Mary has been knitting (seriously) for 17 years and she recently started designing her own patterns too!
