It turns out that Tundra isn’t the only Jo Sharp sweater featuring the Rib Texture Pattern mentioned in my previous post. I just checked out Knitted Sweater Style from the library and it has a v-neck pullover version with this stitch. Ripple also appears to have an interesting stitch pattern, although it’s hard to tell from the picture in the book.
I’ve flipped through Jo Sharp’s books at the yarn store so many times but wasn’t instantly compelled to knit anything from them. Now that I’m starting to take a second look, I admire many aspects of her designs and enjoyed knitting a swatch with her DK yarn.

Turns out that the Jo Sharp sweater I have always admired in her ads is in fact Tundra, and it is exactly the textured rib stitch that I liked. I may try it with some Brown Sheep superwash that has been aging in my stash.

That’s funny. I have that book on hold right now from SPL.

Rob,
If you decide to make it, I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
Jessica,
Actually I got it from the King County Library System, it was just easier to link to SPL. KCLS has a much larger selection of knitting books, including many Alice Starmore books.

Hey,
I just found that textured rib stitch in the 2nd volume of Harmony knit stitches — they call it the “supple rib.” Coulnd’t find it in either of the two Walker stitch dictionaries I had, which is too bad — I like her comments on the kind of fabric a stitch produces.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I also found it on line at http://www2.martingale-pub.com/Information/Corrections/June%2023.jpg

Wow, THAT’s a useful site. Saved it to my knitting errata file — those are corrections to the knit stitch perpetual calendar.
