Here's a pic of the Alice Starmore "Grant Ave." kit I ordered. I don't know how I'll ever knit it up! Never done steeks. Never even made an entire sweater. Not very good at keeping my place in patterns or charts. But I can never say never and I will, come hell or high water, make this vest. May take awhile but I will try. Goal is to complete other projects as skill builders.
Swatched up my natural dyed yarn this weekend. Tough to find a fair isle pattern to showcase the colors. Keep thinking I should have reds. Perhaps I will make the background color the natural off white of the Dale and use my colors to pattern. By the time I'm done with natural dying experiments I'll probably have enough to make a larger project.
Ooooh, that yarn is absolutely lovely, and so is the pattern. I'm hoping to wrangle a Starmore kit for a birthday or Christmas. My poor family would have no idea that it is currently way beyond my skill level, and would probably assume that I could whip it up in no time.
