My New Vest

Here are pictures of my newest vest. Yes it was time consuming with 5 colors at the same time, but it was worth it at the end. I found this pattern from one of Yahoo's "Rachel's Knitting Room" She also has her blog @ rachelsknittingcorner.blogspot.com. The pattern is from FreePatterns.com. It was included in Rachel's Daily Free Patterns, so that you Rachel.



I was able to wear the vest one whole day. It is now too hot for vests.

CB Update

Here is some pictures of the CB Sweater (CB Vest).

The Neck/Collar and sleeves are next. All will be done with picked up stitches.

Yarn Update

Been a busy summer and I keep forgetting to post.

Yes it has been another Hot summer and I have not been knitting as much.

Knitting Masters. The 16th final sample is done, and the hat is now done. I still have to tuck tails and block. I plan to re-photograph all the samples, and the hat, using the original posts.

CB. It got frogged, and restarted, with more frogging. I'm thinking it is going to be tight, but maybe blocking will help. I'm almost to the arm holes, so it will go faster.

Started a small dragon for the release of Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows. Lost a weekend while trying to read the book. Dragon did not turn out quite as expected, so he took a break.

Finally got to meet the East Side Knitters that are unable to make it to the West Side. Who? The Las Vegas Knitters. http://lasvegasknitters.blogspot.com/ We meet on each side of town once a week.

Added two new entries to Podcasts. Guido is a hoot. Has his blog says:

It’s a Purl, Man

A site about a guy in Boston with yarn issues

First Completed vest.

Here is my first vest. The pattern is Peter Easy by Berroco. There are some design problems with the pattern, so it is wider than it should be.

Decrease after ribbing?

Second Vest

This is the same pattern, different color and I reduced the starting number of stitches I cast on.

No, I am not using Berroco yarn.





I also modified the pattern in the ribbing for the neck and shoulders. Instead of the standard K2P2 all rows,

1 - K2P2
2- K2B, P2 (Knit in the back loop)

Remember when you were told to not twist your stitches?
