The Russian Prime was designed by Meg Swansen and is found in her book, Meg Swansen's Knitting starting on page 36.Quoting from the description on page 37:
This circular garment is constructed along the lines of a classic Norwegian dropped-shoulder sweater, with a few added details. "
Availablity of instructions as per Meg :
- The original Wool Gathering was #49 (Sept '93) (Out of Print)
- A VHS video was made with insert-instructions and charts. (Out of stock?)

Just leaving this to make sure it works!
I will create a PDF file of the main chart sometime this weekend. I have been trying to swatch from the chart in MS Knitting, and the little Xs are too wee for me! I need more contrast to be able to see without invoking bifocals!
I'll let y'all know when it's ready, and I'm happy to share. Knit on!
