Three vests


My name is Debb, I'm from Western Pennsylvania, and I've been knitting for afghans-for-Afghans for several years, but this is my first time to share a photo. These three vests will be going into the mail later this week. They are all 100% wool from my stash. The center vest pattern is from Knit One Below by Elise Duvekot with the vee-neck raised and some extra length added. The fair-isle vest was knit in the round with steeks for the armholes and neckline, using a chart from Fair Isle Simplified for the colorwork. The gray vest has a border pattern worked in purl stitches on stockinet.

Welcome, Debb. Wow! so pretty. The Fair Isle vest is especially cheerful! I'm feeling inspired by you to give that steeking a try for the next campaign.

Debb, so glad you posted with your spectacular vests. Each very distinct in technique and colors. Thanks, too, for thinking about the extra coverage and making adjustments. We're starting to pack again and look forward to receiving your gifts and all the beautiful garments made by those on the blog and not on the blog here!
