Dissent Pullover Update!

Deanna is sitting barefoot on a piano bench in a warm, sunny room reading a book. She’s wearing a pale grey pullover with a dark red patterned yoke.

Dissent Pullover

I designed the Dissent Pullover as a fingering weight version of my original Dissent cardigan that was inspired by the style of the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, particularly a jabot that she wore when reading dissenting opinions. Check out the #dissentpullover tag on Instagram to see some projects. There’s also a Dissent Toque cause I can’t get enough of this concept.

Update

I’ve made one small change that a lot of knitters have asked for. I changed the text from dark grey to black to increase readability. When I designed my brand colours and layout I chose dark grey for text because I loved the look. It seemed like it was somehow just subtly more sophisticated. But I’ve heard from knitters since that black is just easier on their eyes, especially knitters with low vision. That matters more than my little aesthetic preference, so in the future all my patterns will feature black text and I hope to go back and update older patterns little by little.
