Candy has a long story - if you just want to know the facts, here they are: fantastic cable cardigan, slightly cropped and super soft, cute, and available in natural, charcoal, and red this season.

Here comes the story: visiting friends in Brussels years ago, we came across a second-hand shop (where everything was sold by the kg). We found a few things, including a very small, shrunken natural cable cardigan, which someone had washed too hot and which, at the time, was still a little too big for our 3-year-old twins. We bought it, put new buttons on it, and one of them wore it for several years until she really couldn’t fit into it anymore.

At the time, I wanted one for myself, so we asked our hand knitters to knit me one. We worked out the pattern, and it came out perfectly: slightly cropped, a bit boxy in the body, and super cute. It made it into the next winter collection and had a little success story until the hand knitters said, "No more Candy cardigans!" (It is so time-consuming to make these kinds of patterned pieces by hand.)

So the dream of the Candy was over - until we met our new London knit factory. They are always up for a challenge, and they are now knitting it for us. Even by machine, it takes many hours to make, but the final result is almost the same as the old hand-knitted version - just technique over craft. Well, it is a craft in itself to program the machines, do the linking, and everything else... Behind every step is a human being. And the magic of making a garment out of a thread and two needles continues.
