I absolutely adore Brooklyn Tweed. Jared has a wonderful eye for color and composition, and he and I share tastes in yarn and in cables and arans (although he's willing to work at a smaller gauge than I am!).
Earlier this week he wrote an enormously informative and useful tutorial on swatching an aran sweater, including picking stitch patterns that go together. His swatch is stunning, and the stitch patterns are beautiful. This one goes over in the knitting technique column!
