Yesterday I met my nieces in Calistoga at the Roastery, we had a little catching up over coffee & tea, then they put on their new Hillwalker sweaters, and this time we headed straight down to the Castle in St Helena for the photo shoot. They absolutely shone against the old hand-cut stone in their Autumn sweaters!
A fabulous time, and the usual stellar results! Oh, and behind the scenes my nieces are now also my assistants as well as my models, doing a great job of stepping in to preen as needed… real professionals! Click and check out these fun unexpected sneak shots…
Hillwalker pattern is available HERE.
But before you go, click on the first image in the mosaic, and view a much more extensive slide show of the whole photo shoot…
Gorgeous sweaters!
Thank you! xx
Fabulous sweaters on your lovely nieces.
Thanks Wendy, they amaze me every time! xx

What fun!!! Sweaters and nieces look great! How does the older one like college?
Thank you Sarah. She’s loving college, and doing well too.
Both of those are important! I am glad!
oh my goodness, so gorgeous!
(I took the time of a coffee, and strolled through all nieces sweaters on your project page. Oh, this is such a wonderful archive, not only about your sweater ideas, but also seeing Natalie and Nina grown up beautifully! So well done, Jen! I hope the Ladies appreciate that too….)
Petra, yes, the ” Sweater Success ” category : https://jenjoycedesign.com/category/sweater-success/ shows them since 2010 . They’ve grown up in 8 years! Next spring will be a decade of sweaters actually , Spring and Autumn. Thank you for reading the posts about them through the years, that makes you a real friend to me! xx
Looking over the posts in that category , they’ve gone from the public playground in Calistoga to the Castle! xx
