You can't really tell here, but this sparkly green sweater-shirt has irregular stripes - the kind you get when knitting with variegated yarn (you can sort of get an idea of what I'm talking about if you enlarge the picture). I usually hate that effect, but I really like this shirt. It once belonged to my great aunt and, truth be told, I had forgotten of it's existence, so this is a lovely little bit of buried treasure that I have unearthed here.
