The search for the Brenda sweater took me to some interesting places; not only did I write letters to the producers of the show (to no avail) and to the section of the Sunday paper that answers questions about stars (still waiting for an answer) I searched the web. It is possible to waste enormous amounts of time just looking around on the internet. You know how I know that. I finally made my way to Ravelry, and can't for the life of me remember why I didn't start there. I found the group "As seen in the movies" that follows hand knit items in the movies. They couldn't point me to the sweater but did offer a number of good ideas about where to look. Then I went to "Closer Knits," a group of knitters that follows the exploits of Brenda (and her sweater!) on the show. They directed me to the official Closer web site where I found several photos of The Sweater. So now it looks like I'll just have to figure out how to copy it myself.....
So we know it's shawl collar, knitted from a lace pattern, hip length, belted and the sleeves seem to be slightly belled? Is that what you see? I admire your determination and dedication, BTW, in trying to get answers to these question. Good luck!
