I finished up the body of the December Vest yesterday morning. I had my doubts when I tried it on before blocking it, but I blocked it hoping things would improve. It's not so bad from the back although you can see where I switch skeins, but not so good from the front, and doesn't look near as good on me as it does on the dress maker dummy.
I couldn't figure out what I was thinking when I started this one. Oh well, at least I can frog it and re-use the yarn, and in the meantime it is a great gauge swatch.
So I spent this morning browsing Ravelry for a new pattern to knit with this yarn and found the
Practically Vest by Kelly Herdrich. This is a top down pattern, a design feature that I love, and if I have extra yarn I could always add sleeves.
Pattern: Practically by Kelly Herdrich
Yarn: Dream in Color Classy with Nylon
Needle: US 7 (4.5 mm)
Cap sleeves look good on your body type. I think that's a much better choice.
