Home just in time for bed (after a very busy day, of course) but I couldn't resist popping in to show off today's FO.
The Tweedy vest was a web only pattern from the fall/winter 2005 issue of Knitscene Magazine. Alas, the pattern is no longer available online. Mine was made with Malabrigo Seleccion Privada K, which I picked up on sale at Coldwater this summer. The colors just happen to be the local school colors and I plan on wearing this vest to hockey games. Woot!
I love how the pattern worked up. The neckline was a mental challenge because it used short-rows to make the front of the ribbing deeper than the back of the ribbing. Unusual but I think I like it. I'm considering making another one out of the green tweed yarn I recently added to the stash.
BTW, this isn't the only FO of the week. Dancing Diva's ballet shrug is also finished but I haven't managed to snag a photo of her wearing it yet. Stay tuned for an update. Soon, I hope.
It looks a little Vikings-ish as well! It looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteYay for finished hockey vest and warm mama!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And you wear it very, very well. It is great to find that "just right" garment!
ReplyDeleteLovely - and you're making me grumpy. I frogged my vest from last winter. Short rows make me stupid.
ReplyDeleteGood work! An FO and Guinifer is right - it can double up for Viking games!
