I finished up Skein 11d, and started working with Skein 12b. The transition between Skein 11d and Skein 12b worked out perfectly at the end of a row. If I had been thinking things through a little more I might have started with Skein 12b, and then worked either Skein 11d or Skein 12c. That would have me working from the thickest yarn to the thinnest. But that is not what I did, and I think it looks just fine as it is. At this point I had finished Skein 12b, and have cast off the stitches for the sleeve caps. I am now working with Skein 12c, then I’ll use Skein 12a. If I still need more length I’ll use Skein 11c. I am enjoying the knitting. There is something extra special about working with your handspun, imperfect though it may be.
This is a nice shot of the yoke that I forgot to post. I like the garter stitch bands.
I have enough yarn that I can make a second vest using up Skein 11 and all of Skein 13.
