I really enjoyed knitting this vest for my husband. He helped pick out the colours, and although you wouldn't know it - looking at the picture - he is actually happy with it. Weaving in all those ends after sewing it together was a pain, but I got it all done and dusted. I know it still needs blocking, but if he wants to wear it, I am not going to stop him. It is supposed to be loose fitting, as it allows something thicker to be worn with it. It is called Cappucino Vest, designed by Janette Mana. You know the best thing about it? I used yarn from my stash, and some a friend had given me - before it disappeared into my stash. How good is that?!?
As you can see, the back is slightly different than the front. I changed the order of the colours only a little bit, and took out a couple that weren't really working. Most of the wool I used is Ashford Tekapo, which I really like using.
