Yeah, I figure that it's not the easiest thing to do, at least not if one want good results. Good luck! Once I've managed to settle down a bit I'll join you.

A little update on the scarf (I'm making it for my boyfriend who moved to Raleigh as a gift). After several hours on this attempt and many a failure before it, I'm making headway!

A deadstock Jantzen P-38 sweater with hangtag. (Not my auction and definitely not in my price range!) Love the description inside the hangtag!

That's an odd choice of design. The aeroplane is heading downwards and it has parachutes around it - suggesting the crew has baled out!

An interesting observation!

Editing to add: Perhaps the parachutes are the crew members that have bailed out of the enemy planes that were shot down.

Funny, but the bail-out scenario didn't occur to me because the P-38 is a single seat aircraft, so those would be way too many parachutes!
Maybe they are all Japanese pilots that the P-38 just shot down.
