This vest has a really tight and snug fit - I love it - it's perfect to wear to work with a fitted shirt - brings a bit of umpf to a black shirt. The patterns is Vestpa from Samantha Roshak who also has a gorgeous web site worth visisting: Knit Quest.
I liked the Tapestry yarn for this project.
I also FINALLY finished a pair of Drops socks that I cast on on my trip to Vegas i September 2009!
I think I got stuck in this project, because I didn't really like how the heel turned out on the first sock. As you can see from the picture below - the heel edges turned out really bulky and rugget. All in all I had my challenges with this type of pattern where you knit with two strands of yarn at a time - it didn't come out very flat.... but rather constrained... I am deterined to get better at this and to LOVE knitting socks. So if anyone out there has any hints, as to how these projects turn out nice and flat - please don't hold back - let me in on the secret!!!
I furthermore discovered, that getting the Little Knits newsletter - ain't excactly making my stash any smaller!! But hey - who ever dies with the most yarn wins - Right?
