On the needles, April 4, 2014

I don't recall if I ever showed this vest? It is something I finished in January?, I think. The pattern is by Cheryl Oberle and is called Chinese Red Vest. I know, I know. It's not red, but I happened to have enough of this older lovely soft merino wool yarn and so I used it.


The color is truer in the top photo, btw. The closures were purchased on Vogue Knits via amazon. I could only find black ones around here. 

This was a very easy knit even though I had to modify the neckline because I ran out of yarn. Yeppers, there wasn't an inch of yarn left!

And for reals: I just bound off the Hapi Coat but it needs it's own post because I know what is going to happen when I block it and that process will need documenting.

Also for reals: really and truly on the needles is another pair of socks.

I'm linking up to JudyL's OTN Friday today.

    You are a talented knitter. Such a pretty vest and a nice save when you ran low on yearn.

    Your vest is very pretty and only a talented knitter could have saved the project when running short of yarn. I get worried about running out on my first pair of socks because I'm making the top longer than called for in the pattern.

    Gorgeous vest. A beautiful color. Was this the one that the yarn bled?
