22.) My “man on the moon” sweater, inspired by a museum display on the topic. Picture taken during my visit in 2013 to Huntsville. Pictures have already been taken for it to be a T-shirt someday. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #moon #astronaut #astronauts #manonthemoon #moonlanding #rocket #rockets #outerspace #spaceship #spaceshuttle

21.) My second Tower Bridge sweater. I made it because I had originally wanted the sky on my first one to have variegated yarn like that, but couldn't find any back then. When I saw this yarn, I decided to make a second Tower Bridge sweater. This picture is from my visit to London in 2014, and I drove across the bridge while wearing it. Finally available as a T-shirt. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #towerbridge #towerbridgelondon #london #tower #bridge #londonbridge #england #unitedkingdom #thames #thamesriver #toweroflondon

20.) My tiger jungle sweater. Inspired by a show I saw about tigers. I used an orange and a black yarn together to represent the tigers. Available as a T-shirt replica. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #tiger #tigers #tigerjungle

19.) My first sweater made with eyelash yarn, representing a grassy marsh. Inspired by an exhibit of one at National Aquarium. And very different from any clothing anyone normally wears. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #marsh #swamp #grass #wetlands #eyelash #swampgrass #marshgrass #grassymarsh

18.) My Oriole Park at Camden Yards sweater. Made this in response to not having anything to wear to Orioles games. Had to travel an hour from home to get the final skein of green yarn because the local yarn shops were out of it. This picture is from a game I attended in 2015. Hope to have this sweater made into a T-shirt by next baseball season. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #camdenyards #orioleparkatcamdenyards #oriolepark #baltimoreorioles #baseball #orioles #stadium #baseballdiamond #baseballfield #redbrickwarehouse #base #bases #homeplate #crowd

17.) My ski sweater. Made it during the 2002 Olympics, inspired by the skiers I watched. The main yarn I used for it, interestingly, is called Sirdar Snowflake. Difficult yarn to knit with, but interestingly, I finished the sweater in record speed. I haven’t skied since my teens, but I borrowed a pair of skis for this picture in 2017. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #skiing #ski #skiers #skis #skier #snow #skipoles #downhill #downhillskiing #slalom #slalomskiing #mogul #moguls #skijumping #sirdar #sirdaryarn #sirdaryarns #sirdarsnowflake

16.) My military sweater. I call it "a tank on a tank.” I am no fan of war, but I do like history. I sometimes wear it on Veteran’s Day. Picture taken in 2016 at a museum. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #imakemyclothes #handknit #tanks #tank #army #military #armedforces #helicopter #helicopters #airplane #airplanes #jeep #jeeps #armyjeep #armyjeeps

15.) My volcano sweater. Picture taken at a dormant volcano site in the Canary Islands in 2015, sans lava. Perhaps one day I will find a place with real lava for a picture. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #volcano #volcanoes #volcanicmountain #volcanicmountains #valcanocrater #volcanocraters #lava #lavaflow #eruption #erupt

14.) My shark sweater. Made of only 3 yarns all from the same line. Spent a year in 2004 hanging in the American Visionary Arts Museum, my first public display ever. Finally available as a T-shirt after all these years following a recent visit to Las Vegas, where I also visited this aquarium. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #shark #sharks #sharktank #ocean #underwater

13.) After knitting a map of the world (the only sweater I ever knitted from a pattern), the planets just seemed so natural to follow. I had the idea back then. But no pattern at the time seemed to exist. Did it 13 sweaters later as my own freehand design. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #solarsystem #planets #mercury #venus #earth #mars #jupiter #saturn #uranus #neptune #pluto #sun #milkyway #stars

12.) My first of three Hanukkah sweaters that I knitted. The flames are made of glow-in-the-dark yarn. This one isn’t, but another one of my Hanukkah sweaters that looks similar is available as a T-shirt. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #hanukkah #chanukah #hanukah #menorah #menorahs #dreydal #dreidal #chanukahmenorah #candle #candles #hanukkahcandles #latke #latkes #glowinthedark

10.) My first sweater of a city skyline. Made it after 9/11 as a tribute and as a reaction to the news, inspired by images from the paper on 9/12 that I purchased. Picture taken in 2017. I have no plans on making this sweater into a T-shirt because my other New York skyline sweater is available as one. #sambarsky #sambarskysweaters #sambarskyknitter #knit #knitting #knitter #art #artist #sweater #intarsia #handknit #newyork #newyorkcity #newyorkskyline #NY #NYC #newyorkcityskyline #hudson #hudsonriver
