REVERSE ENGINEERED SWEATER
This is my Ravelry project page for the sweater

TWO YARNS, FIVE DYES
The two base yarns were a BFL/silk blend (cream) and 100% BFL (natural colors).
The dyes I used are from Mother Mackenzie's Miracle Dye Mix Kit, which I purchased from Clemes & Clemes: https://clemes.com/product/mother-mac...

The resources I used to learn about creating a 1% dye solution were this website: https://gaywool.com/calculating-dye-q...

as well as ChemKnits video:    • EXTENDED CUT: Mixing Acid Dye Stock Soluti...  

1970s VINTAGE SWEATER
I'll be using the basic instructions for a ski sweater/Scandinavian sweater from Elizabeth Zimmermann's book KNITTING WITHOUT TEARS https://amzn.to/3B64XjU

The earliest version of this pattern can be found in THE OPINIONATED KNITTER, along with a diagram of how to use the percentage system to calculate various measurements. https://amzn.to/3z0Tgs8

These are Amazon affiliate links.

You can usually also find these books at the Schoolhouse Press website, which is the business Elizabeth Zimmermann founded: https://www.schoolhousepress.com/

Other books I am using as references include several books from the 1970s, which I bought used from AbeBooks:
A PRACTICAL HANDBOOK OF TRADITIONAL DESIGNS: FAIR ISLE KNITTING by Sara Don
MON TRICOT KNITTING DICTIONARY 900 STITCHES PATTERNS (published 1963)
SCANDINAVIAN KNITTING DESIGNS by Pauline Chatterton
