Oh, thank you, Suzanne!
I had read the piece in the online magazine, but had not seen this longer item.
I loved knowing that Sunday Holm had actually recreated it, and did I hear that Schoolhouse Press was going to publish a pattern when they could?
I hope so, and I hope Meg can find some green yarn.
Isn't it amazing how absolutely [i]right [/i ]the design of the sweater is?
Whadda woman EZ was!

Not only did she find green yarn -- but the same green yarn!!!
In her fall newsletter, Meg Swanson said:
"The 'Sherlock Holmes' person, Sunday Holm (really), did a splendid job of dissecting the EZ-Green-Mystery-Sweater and we have arranged to have it available as a pattern in the near future. And - I think I can break this news now: The mill who had spun and dyed the actual Green Sweater wool used by my mother just happens to have a batch of it lying around. It will not be re-dyed in future (unless someone orders a ton of it), so I have to say, 'limited supply.' But I think only 3 to 4 skeins are required, so we will have enough wool for many dozens of authentic sweaters. We will send an announcement to newsletter subscribers when the pattern and wool are available."
How cool is that?

| That is a great story and a really interesting design. I hope it is published, as I'd love to try out the new-to-me construction. |

I just signed up for the newsletters so I won't miss the pattern's publication. It's a great story, with a happy ending.

I loved the article, and the sweater, too. And looking forward to its publication, for sure!

Thanks for the news about the green yarn and the link - I'm also signing up for the newsletter (which I've been meaning to do for ages anyway...)
