First vest with gift yarn!

I made this vest with some of the yarn from Elizabeth's giveaway. The pattern is from 25 Gorgeous Sweaters for the Brand New Knitter, by Catherine Ham. I changed the color scheme, put on 5 buttons instead of 4, and added the pony beads. It was a fun project and relatively quick. The brown yarn is Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool from my own stash, and the four accent colors came from Elizabeth. The buttons were in my stash.

I am halfway done with a ragg-style pullover (doubled yarns) with the rest of this wool. Thanks again for the beautiful, soft yarn!

What a darling vest! The triangles are just so fun. You've inspired me. I'm finishing up a pair of socks with Elizabeth D's yarn, thinking I'll use the rest for a vest.
