Walter Street

Last but not least is the Walter Street sweater for little boys. The sweater is dark turquoise with a band of green, light turquoise, and cream across the bottom, and matching stripes on the sleeves. The look is completed by custom-made sailboat buttons at the neckline, which are perfect with the shoreline feel of the blues and greens in the sweater. The red in the buttons adds just the right amount of contrast.

The Walter Street sweater is available here. 

Pennsylvania Avenue

The third sweater in the Easter Market Collection is the Pennsylvania Avenue sweater.  The sweater is named after the main drag in the Eastern Market neighborhood, also perhaps one of the most famous avenues in the country. 

The sweater, which is unisex, was the inspiration for the whole collection. I just love the color combination--such bright, HAPPY colors--and I think the v-neck gives it a sort of 50s collegiate style.

Check the sweater out on Etsy here.

East Capitol Street

The second sweater in the Eastern Market Collection is the East Capitol Street sweater.  This fresh little unisex sweater is primarily green with a cream lattice pattern.  If I do say so myself, it may be one of my all-time favorite Yellow House Knits sweaters.  East Capitol Street divides the northeast and southeast quadrants of Washington, D.C., and has long been considered a distinguished address on Capitol Hill, with many large and beautiful old homes.  I wanted to create a sweater that does justice to this important street--How did I do?

The East Capitol Street sweater is available here.

Independence Avenue

Sweater 1 in the Eastern Market Collection is the Independence Avenue sweater.  The sweater is light turquoise and red, and the hallmark of the sweater is a big red heart on the front.  The bottom edge of the sweater is slightly flared, and the edges of the body and sleeves have a little ruffle.  On the back is a surprise pattern of red and turquoise stripes. 

You can find the Independence Avenue sweater on the Yellow House Knits Etsy shop here. 

Introducing the Eastern Market Collection!

I'm SUPER excited to introduce the very first Yellow House Knits collection . . . the Eastern Market Collection, which is officially on sale!

Named after my own corner of Capitol Hill, here in Washington, D.C., the Eastern Market collection is a vibrant set of four sweaters in two shades of turquoise, as well as red, cream, and yellow.  These sweaters look great together and individually.  I've been working on these for a while now, and I'm just so happy with how they turned out. 

Over the next few days, I'll post more pictures of the individual sweaters, as well as direct links to the sweaters in the Etsy shop .  As always, the sweaters can be knit in any size up to size 2, and can be ordered through the Etsy shop or directly through yellowhouseknits[at]gmail.

Special thanks to Jennifer Tibbetts for the gorgeous photographs!
