Notes

After a long hiatus, this is back on the front burner. Presently being blocked prior to adding finishing. Yippee!


Boy, this pattern is sure a bummer to get going! I’ll be so happy when I’m done the trim.

Finally got some photos (no model, I’m afraid) and this is ready to be shipped off - only slightly behind schedule!

This blocked to all measurements except length: I’m not sure what happened there as I did measure as I went along. Somehow its shorter than intended and I have quite a lot of yarn left, so fingers crossed that it fits!

This vest looks quite uninspiring in the photos without being on an actual body, so I hope it looks as nice as the one in Interweave. Overall, this is an easy knit, but the edging is such a hassle. It’s a shame you have to start and end on such a miserable note. That said, I built it up to be much worse in my head than it was, especially for the arms and neck.
