A little update on the scarf (I'm making it for my boyfriend who moved to Raleigh as a gift). After several hours on this attempt and many a failure before it, I'm making headway!

Looks like lovely even stitching, I'm afraid I can't knit myself but have a keen interest and have sourced lots of wool for various projects. If you're interested in the 5-ply worsted wool for guernseys or undyed wools from rare breed sheep let me know and I'll put up a few links.

All three circa 1947 by "Man o' Karma"; all have the same label; designs are the same on the front and the back. I was able to find the original advertisement for these exact sweaters from 1947 in a newspaper, but to access a full-size image, I need a subscription to their website and I'm not giving them my credit card information for that (you even need to give them card info for the free trial.) Oh well; check it out: http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/59593885/

I'm happy to finally have something to contribute to this thread! Here's a sweater from the 1920s I recently bought...not the wildest, but somewhat wild.
