Indie Design Gift-a-Long: Sweater Weather

The purpose of the Gift-a-Long is to mutually craft our way through the holiday season: get those holiday gifts finished on time and have fun doing it! But with so many good deals, it's also a great time to indulge in a few patterns for yourself, for after the holiday madness has run its course.

Since I've declared 2015 year of the Cardigan Comeback, I thought I'd show you a few cardigan patterns you can pick up at a discount, before sale week ends on November 21! And a few pullovers too, just in case you've decided to make 2015 your Year of the Pullover.
