The Meanwhile in Maine eBook features the Almost Home Sweater and Almost Home Vest. This set of designs cocoons you in gorgeous cables and broken seed stitch. The single colored sweater features long sleeves and a long arc along the hem. The multi-colored vest is sleeveless (of course) and features a shallow arc along the hem. The pattern allows for mixing and matching between the sweater and the vest styles relying on the knitter to track rows and follow “At the same time” directions.
The Meanwhile in Maine sweater design began as a blog series that tracked the building of our future home in Maine along with the sweater I was designing for wearing up there in the cold northern climate when I received the yarn as a Christmas present back in 2020. A lot changed over these five years! But I am ecstatic to announce the release of Almost Home Sweater and Almost Home Vest, the two designs in the Meanwhile in Maine eBook. I’m also pleased to report that we moved in about a year and a half ago, so yes, the design process went just slightly longer than the build. To track the design process, check out the Meanwhile in Maine blog series on my website: https://knitecochic.com/meanwhile-in-maine/ - the first one installation is from August of 2021.
Happy knitting!
eBook published in December 2025
