by Andee Steinman

It is not easy being aknitter during thewinter when you live inthe desert. Sweaterenvy doesnt begin tocover the torture. Thehats, the mittens, theafghans -- can a sisterget some snow?

While I was on myyearly sojourn toYosemite this year, Ibegan to envision a

short-sleeve fittedsweater that couldeasily be worn yearround in mostclimates. Success!

The garments I usuallyknit must fit twocriteria: can I wear it inthe desert, and do Ihave to do muchseaming? I am notreally a lazy knitter, asI will knit somethingthat is fairlycomplicated, all in thename of minimalfinishing. This pattern is

fairly simple, superpractical and a reallyquick knit!

Knit in the round in acable rib to the split forthe collar. From there,it is knit flat, workingall parts at the sametime. It is a shawl-collard, short sleeve

sweater, but can easilybe converted to a long sleeve garment. This sweater is fitted and comfortable.
