You had just created a cracking version of Sir Paul's colourful 1967 Fair Isle jumper. The one currently posted is lovely, but I STILL want the original colours...alas, I am old and running out of TIME. What must I do to acquire a jumper in the original colours? <br />—Knit? I cannot even play guitar anymore after over 50 years of professional playing...But I STILL want that JUMPER!! <br />Your new version is fetching; however, I am afraid I still prefer the original colours. You are obviously quite talented in a discipline of which I know NOTHING!<br />Please make my life and knit me a Fair Isle jumper (Medium or medium-small) in the original movie colours! Just tell me how much money to send! I, um, am a tad time limited in a way with which I cannot argue. —Dem Bones, Dem Bones, them dry bones...<br />I am in The Valley of The Dry Bones and await your rescue with a jumper in the original colours. PAIX.<br />PS: I have an original 1942 8th Army A-2 flight jacket (525 fighter group, 387th squadron, —i.e. "The Bodney Bastards". Thus named by Herman Goering, whom lost MUCH sleep as a result of their sorties) The jacket has my uncle's name tag and 2 original patches (horsehide a, restored and wearable, TRADE?!!). What the heck?Bix Lives!https://www.blogger.com/profile/01659409698124570444noreply@blogger.com
