    She’s selecting a pattern to make herself a cardigan next in between the quilting and church baking.

    An interesting look. Years ago, my mother made a needlepoint waistcoat for my brother, and it was in tartan. If I remember correctly, it was a kit from a local store, but she laid out the tartan pattern herself.

    Nice to see that handmade art is still a thing.

    I've been giving this a lot of thought recently as I do more knitting. (Still have a lot of projects in the socks & kilt hose queue, though.)

    One pattern I'm eager to try is this one, called the "spiral-spun waistcoat". It's from a 1940s wartime publication with knitting patterns for service members. Women were encouraged to "knit their bit" for the war effort. With some minor shortening, I think it would make a nice waistcoat with a kilt.
