Question
CascadeConsumer
I thought I'd take a chance and see if any of the more experienced here might be willing to do some "translation" work here.
I came across a really interesting pattern. Well, to me it's captivating... it's from 1916 and is a classic old-style men's sweater. There's a picture of it on the website.
My problem is that the pattern is, well... it's not entirely clear at all. I think it has to do with both antiquated language and the presumption of a level of expertise.
I have a few questions. First off, would anybody be willing to "translate" this into a more clear, detailed pattern using modern conventions?
And also, seeing as it's from 1916, I presume the chances are good that the yarn and hook sizes are name-brand specific. What modern standard sizes do you think would be indicated for this kind of project?
Anyway, this may be asking a lot but I thought I'd throw it out there and see if anybody would be willing to give it a shot. Thanks!
