Hello all!
Does anyone know of a place to find good sweater knit fabrics? I don't knit myself (sad but true, I just have no talent for it) but I really want to make a few sweater jackets and such for the fall. I wanted some loose knits as well as some with cable knit maybe. Any ideas? As always thanks for all of your great input! :-)

Thanks!!!
Carisa

Emma One Sock and Gorgeous Fabrics both have sweater knits from time to time. Waechters has some right now too. Oh yeah, Wazoodle regularly carries some too.

How is it my eyes fell upon this thread? I am such a sucker for great sweater knits. I get to Mood LA when I'm up there and they have a lot a lot a lot of great ones too, not sure if there's anything on their websites. Even the near 100 degree weather right now doesn't dissuade me from a great sweater knit. Darn enablers
