I'm working on setting up an automatic download system, but patterns will be emailed individually for now. I promise to get it to you as quickly as humanly possible (within a few minutes, during East Coast business hours). ***IMPORTANT NOTE: The pattern is quite a large file, at 3.5MBs. Please make sure your mail client is able to receive files of that size, and your internet connection able to handle it. If you are unable to have the pattern delivered through email, you may wish to wait until automatic downloads are set up (in the next two days).

Posted by: elizabeth | February 1, 2006 08:37 AM

Posted by: yahaira | February 1, 2006 08:59 AM

Posted by: Anna | February 1, 2006 10:07 AM
I just tried to buy this, but they wouldn't recognize my card. Which is quite irritating! Is there any other option for purchasing???
Posted by: Lelah | February 1, 2006 10:28 AM
Okay, nevermind. I just made an account instead.
Posted by: Lelah | February 1, 2006 10:34 AM
It looks sooo professional and detailed. Way to go - way better than what you'd find in any magazine. I'm going to have to order it. I don't know when the heck I'll have time to make it, but it's too cute to pass up.
Posted by: Stephanie | February 1, 2006 11:09 AM
Your work is exquisite! Hope you'll consider selling your patterns on The Knitting Vault--check it out!
Contratulations!
Posted by: Fredda | February 1, 2006 12:10 PM
Looks very nicely done and professional! Thanks!
Posted by: mimsie | February 1, 2006 12:15 PM
Just printed out my pattern.... O. M. G. !It is phenomenal! What an excellent job you have done, on the pattern, the steeking diagrams and of course, the actual knitting. Please feel very, very proud of yourself!
And thank you for sharing all your time and expertise with us! You are amazing!
Posted by: beebs | February 1, 2006 12:31 PM
Thanks Eunny :) I'll be purchasing this one.. when I'm not scared of it.
Posted by: Stephanie | February 1, 2006 12:59 PM
Awesome! I bet it is fabulously written and well thought out.
Posted by: Purly Whites | February 1, 2006 01:02 PM
Picked myself up a copy :) If the yahoo address doesn't work, becida at gmail dot com should do it.
Posted by: Zari | February 1, 2006 01:45 PM
Just finished printing it out; has to be the most value for my $$ I've ever gotten from a pattern! Can I ask what software you used for the schematics? Everything looks uber-professional--great job.
Posted by: Angela | February 1, 2006 02:02 PM
Eunny, this is fantastic. I now know what I'm knitting for the knit olympics.
Posted by: lcord | February 1, 2006 02:26 PM
Gosh, 16 pages??
I'm questioning my knitting ability now, but what the heck, I want it!!
Thanks, and I hope paypal is working ;)
Posted by: Yuvee | February 1, 2006 02:35 PM
Wow, thanks Eunny! my computer is sick, so I'll wait till it's better before purchasing but I'm so excited! Would you be terribly offended if I used another Fair Isle design for it?
Posted by: tara | February 1, 2006 03:00 PM
This pattern is adorable. I just bought my copy and am already looking forward to knitting it. Great design!
Posted by: Mary-Heather | February 1, 2006 03:53 PM
Hi!
Hurray!! Thank you so much for making the pattern available to us! It will be the best $5.00 I have spent in a long time...
Happy Knitting!

Hi Eunny!
Just discovered your site and you give great details on techniques that I have been wanted to learn about (the Norwegian steeking being one of them). Thanks for showing us how to decipher cables and argyle!
Kind regards,
Kimberly

Just got my pattern! Can't wait (though it will have to for a few months). Dang, I'm even tempted to host a KAL, just you see!
BTW, I think the price is very generous considering the level of detail and thought you put into this, not to mention the great steeking tutorial you have in the pattern and on your site.
Posted by: mimsie | February 2, 2006 01:44 PM
I totally want to knit this. If its okay with you, could you tell us the reccomended yarn(s) we need to complete the project? I like to know what yarn (and how much of it) I'll need before I buy a pattern. Thats because sometimes I have to save up some of my yarn allowance before I can get started. (And sometimes, what I need is in the stash.)

Thank you for the excellent pattern, I look forward to knitting the vest!

Thank you for the excellent pattern, I look forward to knitting the vest!
Posted by: nona | February 3, 2006 12:02 AM
I love love love this pattern, I've been looking for a really deep V vest but I'm wondering if its possible to knit without the argyle? Not that the argyle isn't rad, because it is, I'm just not sure I could do it! I feel so silly for asking...
Posted by: Amanda Woodward | February 4, 2006 07:40 PM
I finally have my pattern and I can't wait to get started! I just wanted to thank you ahead of time for the meticulous directions, charts, etc. $5 is an absolute bargain for all of this information, especially for us neophyte fair islers. Add a few more steeked patterns and you'd have one kick ass book! Thanks again, you rock ---
Posted by: teabee | February 5, 2006 07:52 PM
*Awesome* pattern!
A few questions: bust is referring to the largest measurement, *not* bra band size or similar? (I'll be looking at the elusive 52"?!! for my knockers, unfortunatly).
And yarn requirements/recs/yardage?
*LOVELY* pattern and one I'm *very* interested in knitting! (My first color-work even!)
Thanks,
Crystal
Posted by: Crystal | February 6, 2006 07:08 PM
I'd also need the elusive 52" for my 'knockers' - what are the odds?
Posted by: Cece | February 8, 2006 11:21 AM
Hi, I was wondering what the yarn requirements are for the different sizes. I just noticed a great sale on DK wool, and want to make sure I get enough.
Posted by: Jessica | February 13, 2006 03:00 AM
Eunny! How did you do those SCHEMATICS??? A) they're GREAT! b) I need those! Is it software??
that vest is killer!
