I did manage to knit a sweater vest as a Christmas gift and here it is. It was a symbolic gift. I don't think sweater vests are the most practical garments. It did however end up being my first sweater, first in the round completed project, first cable project. Yarn is Noro Kochoran, pattern is "Boogie" by Knitty. I departed from the pattern in that I knit it in the round to the v neck then knit the back and both sides back and forth. I had not realized that the neckline includes these dead end corners that sort of flap about. Am not pleased with the color on the right front shoulder differing so much from the left but I did not have enough of the yarn to play with. Used 3 skeins. The yarn had alot of the farm in it which could be scratchy. Hope mom can see the zen of it all LOL. Click on the pics for the big picture and have a great day!
And finally some good cheer for the eyes, some sunny homespun that I got from etsy...
