Vesting

My first try at an actual garment here. This is half of a vest back from a pattern in the Twisted Sister's Sweater Workbook, it's called "rectangles" because that's all it's made out of. It's knit up and down, and started in the center back and worked toward the armholes. Kind of fun.








The yarn is from this roving I bought a while back at Lambspun in Ft.Collins. It's 40% marino, 40% alpaca and 20% silk. The mix was called "Coral Abundance". It's beautiful, and spins nicely - makes one of the most professional looking yarns I've ever made. I'm a little worried that I didn't get enough, so as the vest progresses I may have to get creative, since I think once lambspun is out of a particular blend it's tough tamales.




This is what it's supposed to look like when it's done. I'm crossing my fingers!!!
