From Family Circle Knitting, Fall 1994:
“Quick-start pullovers … Vibrant stripes and classic tweeds - two variations on a very flattering, very easy to make design … Knit using two stands of yarn held together, the finishing details have been kept to a minimum streamlining the knitting time to a weekend.”
