Madison, Wisconsin, Autumn 2002. This was my first fair-isle project. It featured nine colors, and I worked it as a vest for Mr. Irene. The buttons look like miniature yarn balls.
UDPATE: Here is a photo of the unknitted skeins. (Photo by She Ewe Knits.)

I'm having trouble identifying more than 6 colors. Are the gradients of blue made up of two different yarn colors, or three?
There are four shades of yellows-golds-to-rust, four shades of blue, and "Shetland Black," an undyed, deep brown.
The gradations are hard to see in a photo.
I misspoke! There are four shades of yellows-golds-to rust, three shades of blue, "Shetland Black," and "True Black."
I'll add a photo of the unknitted skeins. I just found it.
Thanks. Seeing the skeins helps a bit. It's interesting how the colors blend and contrast.
