Mica that Vest is lovely - what a lot of work in it. ┬áI havenÔÇÖt done any Swiss darning as tend to stick to intarsia or fair isle but intarsia is not really possible when knitting┬áin the round so now you have enthused me to try this. ┬á
Several years ago I knitted a jersey with a giraffe on for nephew who lives in Venice. I didnÔÇÖt┬árealise that┬áthe giraffe is the mascot for an island in the Venetian lagoon which the locals are trying to save and his father is very involved with. ┬áApparently at some stage in the past a giraffe was given to a Duke and he kept it on the little island of Poveglia.┬á I donÔÇÖt think it lasted there very long though.
