Highly Textured Vest



Project Name: Highly Textured Vest by Pegg Thomas
Description: Vest - Worsted Weight
Type: Knitting
Start Date: 09/06/05
End Date: 9/29/2005
URL: http://www.twinwillowsfarm.com/highly_textured_vest.html
KAL: September
For:Me
Yarn: Bernat BlarneySpun
Notes: I revised the shaping of the pattern a bit by making the length from the armhole down longer and shortening the armhole to shoulders. I did have to shape the neck with a greater slope to accommodate the changes. The pattern doesn't call for buttons. I did include small button holes and will probably add buttons. I also thought of a zipper but am not sure I'd like the result. Note, pic is before blocking but I think it will only need light blocking as I wouldn't hesitate to wear it as is.
