Pretty, isn't it? It's a vest done in an all-over sampler pattern using various textured and cabled stitches. I have all the wool for it (a grey sport yarn, surprisingly quite nice considering I bought it in my pre-marriage years of relative poverty), but I can't find the pattern. I figure it has to be in the house, but who knows where. And I'm relatively tidy these days (cough cough) so I should be able to find it. Somewhere.In the meantime, maybe I can find the pattern somewhere online. I tried Ravelry -- but this thing is so old (mid- to late-90s) that it predates even Interweave. But it popped into my head to ask Claire & Sandy, the proprietress and staff at Slip Knot, a yarn store in Newtown Square, west of Philadelphia. Oh, my were these women awesome! Yes, they knew exactly what I was talking about, and they knew where to get it. But, just to be sure, I would email them the photos so they could tell for sure.
Well, here it is -- this is the back (almost done) and the photo above is a detail shot. It really is lovely, isn't it? I'd love to finish it...
And if Claire & Sandy are right, I soon will be able to. Thanks, guys!
