The Sherlock Rainey Sisters spent the better part of this morning attempting to de-construct a link to the past that Surly was interested in. She wanted to knit a poncho like the following Eileen Fisher Devale Linen Tunic from three years ago:
This color might be more accurate:
BUT – we had no picture (it was way back in emails), no product name, no hope. With searching Google and trailing after Pinterest photos, we finally found both the correct name AND the exact item for sale on Ebay.
Susan to Sally, “Just buy it! It’s not worth your knitting time and the cost of yarn to make it!!”
Sally to Susan, “I already did!”
Yep, Sherlock Rainey and Watson in perfect harmony.
ETA from Sally: I found it, or rather Susan found it, on ebay.
How nice!! where did you get it from?

Great work ladies! If you get the urge to knit one, with a bit of added lace detail, the cover design of Rowan’s Pure Linen Collection would be a good start…..I have knit two designs from this book and love the yarn.

Yes, great detecting! I have always loved St. Eileen of Fisher (as Ann Shayne once called her)! Smart move.
