Tis the season for knitting...
Pattern::Boogie by Amy KingYarn::Knit Picks Wool of the Andes {Pewter}
Needles::US#10/6mm straight
Modifications::made a v-neck
This vest was quick to knit and not complicated--I'm so glad that I am no longer afraid of patterns with cables! It's warm and comfy, and I would definitely make it again. Next time, I think I would try using a circular needle up to the armholes.
It is absolutely beautiful Deb!!! I love it! You did a wonderful job!!!
ReplyDeleteYou do such lovely work, Deb. As for me, my knitting skills don't stretch beyond my one pair of felted mittens, many scarves, and loads of dishrags! Which is enough for me. (except I have seen some pretty sweet sock patterns....!)
ReplyDeleteOh, pretty, pretty, pretty!!! The vest is wonderful. I love Wool of the Andes.
ReplyDeleteglad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteI love this vest! My new year's resolution for NEXT year (maybe) is to learn to knit :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! I've been scoping out vest patterns, I really like your change.
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool. I can knit but I have never been able to figure out blocking.

It is lovely.
ReplyDeleteThat looks splendid on you! I love it, love it!
ReplyDeleteI really like this pattern.Years ago I did a similar one with smaller cables in sports weight yarn.I'll have to check out knit picks patterns.I don't remember seeing this one. Beautiful work!!
ReplyDeleteI love the color choice! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you back! I hurt my back a little more than two months ago and while lying flat trying not to do anything to aggreviate the spasms I discovered your blog. You have helped me through many long and painful days! Your vest is beautiful. I have never knit anything with cables, but hope to change that soon. Thanks, Robin T.
ReplyDeletethat's a beautiful vest! great job!!!
ReplyDeleteThe vest is lovely, a perfect colour!
ReplyDeleteI love the vest. I've left you a message on Ravelry. I'm getting inspired to try cables....thanks.

This is great! I have this vest on my to do list and am spinning some llama yarn for it right now!
ReplyDeletePretty pattern, Deb. I think I should tell you that I've been knitting your waffle weave dishcloth pattern a lot this season. AND have passed it on to a couple of new knitters. What a legacy for you:)
ReplyDeleteLove the vest! I've been conquering my fear of cables lately too -- not so bad after all.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous vest Deb! I love cableknit and the colour of the wool you chose is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow, you do gorgeous work! I aspire to be able to knit like that. So far, I've been making your waffle knit dishcloths and am now working on my first little baby sweater. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteIt looks beautiful. I've been knitting a plain v-neck sweater for my daughter. I wonder if I could convince her to have a cable down the front like yours. It adds so much to it.
ReplyDeleteComfy and nice.

ReplyDeleteDeb, that is one gorgeous vest. Cables really set a sweater off don't they.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Very,very beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne
Wow This is Beautiful I am still trying to figure out the whole cable thing!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous Deb!! I love the pattern on the front. I saw a pillow made by Mia from Mia`s Landliv for a while ago, she used some of the pattern. Wonderful and very personal.
ReplyDeleteWho could resist wool?
I wish you a wonderful new year filled with lots of fun creativity!
Warm greeting, Aina
