Colorblock Fisherman Sweaters

LL Bean has a few. I like them. They're basically Aran sweaters, maybe the Irish vendors should try colorblock for something different.

The last one is the best IMO.

I'm a big LLBean fan but not sure about those top two.  I do like the bottom sweater but would prefer something longer

I prefer a traditional Fisherman's knit sweater but I do like the middle one.  I'd wear that.

Something a bit different: I like the concept!

Re: Colorblock Fisherman Sweaters

I like the concept, but of the sweaters shown, I'd probably only order the cream/pink/grey option.

 

The first one looks like it'd be part of a Team USA uniform for the winter Olympics. Maybe if they swapped the red for a dark kelly green, I'd be more inclined to consider it.

I like the cream and grey one and maybe the red, white and blue. The Irish need to bring back the traditional Fisherman sweater to the Q.

Re: Colorblock Fisherman Sweaters

I really like all the options of Aran sweaters-- solid off white, solid colors, and these lively color block ones-- what fun.

 

Apparently, authentic Irish families like to mix up the colors too.  Over the holidays I saw this video of the Kelly performing family singing Christmas carols around an Irish hearth.  The dad and a teenage son are in cream ones, a daughter is in a mossy green one, and a littler daughter in a deep reddish one.  They're cute!  (If you want to see them all decked out in their sweaters together, you have to skip over the lake scenes to about the 1:01 mark in the video).

Re: Colorblock Fisherman Sweaters

They look like the ones I make when I have just one ball of each color of leftover yarns!  

 

Love them!
