Eggli Vest<br />
I was inspired to design the Eggli Vest by<br />
the mountain in Switzerland of the same<br />
name. Eggli is in the Bernese Oberland<br />
in Gstaad. As a child I would ski down<br />
this mountain so many times. Then as a<br />
young adult I actually lived and worked at<br />
Restaurant Eggli, which is at the top of the<br />
mountain. At night, when the tourists had<br />
gone down into the village, I was lucky to<br />
enjoy the peacefulness and the mountain<br />
view, listening to the wind blowing over<br />
the much bigger mountains nearby.<br />
Even then, knitting was a big part of my<br />
daily life.<br />
The colour featured in the Eggli Vest was<br />
inspired by my dad. He had a love for<br />
breeding Cockatiels and Love Birds ...many<br />
of the Love Birds had this teal colour like the<br />
one I used to dye the yarn for the Eggli Vest.<br />
