fisherman's sweater

most garments have an origin,

many of which i learned from tim gunn's fashion bible.

fascinating + cozy is the fisherman's sweater, or aran jumper.

irish in its origin, the fisherman adorned themselves in these garments, 

many of which had symbolic/superstitious value. 

for example, a stitch pattern called honeycomb represented the worker bee.

the cable-knit represented safety and good luck when fishing.

i love a garment with a strong heritage and a sweet disposition.
