Why is it so special and unique? It FLIPS! Simply wear the sweater long or FLIP upside down and wear short. You get two sweaters in one.
How Lindsay invented the Flip Sweater® :
It was in 2006 when the idea formed in her creative mind. She developed the pattern for The LuLu™ Sweater, which is the short Fluffy style sweater. She was selling the sweater for over a year, they were selling off the racks, demand was growing faster every day. (still to this day, sales for The LuLu™ Sweater are incredible). Then one day, while in a hurry to meet some friends for dinner, she grabbed her favorite LuLu™ Sweater and Ran out the door. She got to the restaurant swung her gorgeous fluffy sweater over her shoulders and ran inside, as she approached the table, something stopped her in her tracks? The Sweater? The LuLu™ Sweater was not the short fluffy waste length sweater anymore, it was now a Long Floor Length Sweater. (Same Sweater) She accidentally FLIPPED her sweater upside down. This was when The Signature Flip Sweater® came to life. She had invented the pattern to a sweater that could be worn long or short, two sweaters in one. Just FLIP your Flip Sweater® upside down!!!!! So she immediately started making the Flip Sweater®, and the rest is history! She still to this day, she personally hand crafts each one of a kind sweater.
She also created a Flip Vest®, which is the same concept but a vest. Instead of knitting the vest, she has created a pattern, which she personally cuts and sews from unique materials. The materials range from soft jersey knits to bamboo silk prints, to chiffon silk prints. Her materials change all the time.
Other masterpieces:
Along with hundreds of sweaters and vests to choose from, her collection keeps growing. She creates gorgeous knit ponchos, shawls, and vests.
The Metal Pins: she needed something to hold her gorgeous creations together. Instead of adding buttons, she designed one of a kind metal pins. She personally bends and cuts each metal pin, then hammers each to perfection. You can not only use them to hold knitted garments together, but they work great on regular scarves, and as hair pins too!!
