Today, with my stolen half hours between working on Excel sheets and invoices, I pondered what to knit next. I stared at all my vintage knitting patterns stored on my online database, yarn options in both color and fabric content and I even a had a little ruby red swatch I knit up last night on my work clipboard. The color combinations, seasonal guidelines and endless styles leave for an unnumberable amount of combinations that I just can’t fathom. When I think I have the sweater I want, I can’t find the color yarn or one that is the right weight. When I find a perfect yarn, nothing I can think of suits it. Sometimes I feel like I’m on the quest for The Perfect Sweater. It might be a delightful perfect jewel color or maybe a unique vintage color mix like rose and green, honey and copper or nile green and ecru. It would have some ruffle here, laciness, or perfectly placed cables. Vintage patterns are often titled by female names. Is my perfect sweater matched to a name personality? Do I see myself as an Antoinette or a Natalie? Bernadette or Marilyn? Well, I may never find that Holy Grail of sweaters but here are some condentors from recent purchases.
