Developing knitwear isn't easy. It's possible to spend a lot of time and money trying to make an idea turn into something which looks the way it's been imagined.
The Knit Wallah swatch archive is vast and very diverse. It helps you anticipate gauge, yarn type, weight, construction, pattern scale, hand-feel....practically everything.
zzzzz
why don't you knit a faux whip
stitch instead of embroidering it?
if it needs to be more outdoorsy,
how about some sort of tree-line?
Cables don't have to always be
symmetrical - look at this........
if you want to add texture, just
plate it with a slub cotton.......
the 2-colored jacquard looks a bit
flat - what about a hairy yarn?!

to make it more "crafty", change
the pattern to hand-embroidery
make the stripe chunkier-change
to all-needle rib like this swatch
to look vintage we could stone
wash it - like this swatch...
can't decide between pointelle or
texture? this swatch has both...
