In a way, I was very lucky : I managed to find online the ”digital version” of a Phildar catalogue I’d been looking for for a very, very long time.
The paper version is out of print; it featured the Winter 2003/2004 collection.
It’s all perfectly legal. The catalogue costs next to nothing and consists of photos that obviously need to be downloaded – for the charts, of course. The difficulty for me was transcribing these diagrams, as the photos weren’t always very clear. But the pleasure lies elsewhere: this is already the second pattern I’ve made : it features cables, twists and textured stitches – everything I love! I shortened the edges of the back, front and sleeves – from 10 cm to 5 cm – whilst keeping the same overall length of the jumper. I also preferred a round neck instead of a turtleneck (which I still don’t like…).
