Another cardigan... \"chalkie\" knit

This one is a flat, tight knit. Unfortunately there isn't one darn label anywhere in it. It isn't hand made & I'm 99.9% sure the flowers are original to it.

I believe it to be a nylon blend of some sort. I *think* it's late 60's to mid 70's, but I don't want to shoot myself in the foot. Do any of you remember "Chalkie" Sweaters? They were very popular in the mid to late 60's as I recall. That's what this knit reminds me of.

It's a true dark black & the flowers are cotton - like trim you could buy (maybe still can) by the yard.
Each rhinestone is backed with a tiny metal flat stud.

I guess mainly, I'm going to wing it, but I am wondering what y'all may think about my guess at the dates?

hmmm...have you tried your macro setting yet? wasn't it Jennifer that was working on that with you?

as you say, unfortunately, the new photo makes my eyes blurry ~ :(

I would also try using a tripod. It will eliminate any hand shaking. We all do it. Also, if there is not enough light sometimes matters get blurry. Also, I would take the photo from a bit farther away and then crop it.

The one in the auction itself is this one.
It may be a bit large.

I'll see what I can do with that macro thang. LOL!
