Finished vest
Here is the finished vest in all her glory. She got a nice iron steamed blocking this morning and off to work we went. Please excuse the picture. I was trying to get out the door and had the DS take the picture. Man I look like crap!
I love this vest and got so many compliments on it today. Thanks to Eunny for writing up the pattern for this great knit!
We are off to have DS's 9th bday this weekend. And I have already cast on for Mom's Mother's Day present. She knows what it is but not what yarn I picked and all of that so we'll keep it on the down low there. Swatching by doing pocket linings is where we are at right now. Gonna be a quick knit though. Everyone have a great weekend!
very beautiful indeed!
Congratulations

hi Erin, good to see you´re back. luckily experience shows that most hard times end one way or another. your vest looks great, beautiful colours. I´m still waiting to see the sweater for your husband, I have also decided to make one for my dearest one, it´s slowly taking form in my mind. I haven´t knitted him anything since I made him an Aran cable sweater when I was pregnant with our daughter (she is now 14). he wore it to pieces some years ago, so he deserves another one. the picture in my head is fair-isle knitting in 4-5 colours, probably won´t start it though until spring or summer, so many things on my list before that.
best from Iceland

Hi Erin-
Just wondering (if you don't mind my asking!) what size you made and how many skeins you used? I'm making the 36" and I bought 4 of each color and I'm a bit nervous about running out. I'm starting to think I should have bought one more of the cinnamon and one less of the nutmeg!

WOW! That looks great! Now I can be very excited for how mine's going to come out since we're using the same exact colors! It fits you perfectly. This gives me inspiration to pick mine back up again. Great work!
