All of them are based around New England, e.g. the Greenfield Cardigan, the Windsor Warmer, etc. Obviously those of us in New England know that knitwear is a necessity from September to May and usually sometimes during the summer months too. I loved many of the patterns, although the only one I've tried is the Brattleboro knit hat. My gauge was off (as it always is) but it was easy enough to modify and came out really cute.
