The old, post 1

The old fair isle sweater was made a long time ago.  I'm not really used to the phenomenon of things in my life being 20 years old, but this thing that I made when I wasn't actually very much of a child any more is about 20 years old.  

It was the first or possibly second genuinely wearable object that came off my needles.  There were other sweaters, but this one was good.  I could wear it in public without it being excruciatingly obvious that an amateur produced it.  I'm still pleased by it.  

I am going to spend some posts writing about it; the good, the bad, what I learned etc.
