Test knit for the wonderful Elena Nodel, can’t wait for Krystel to be able to wear this pretty vest

Using Colour Adventures Merino Light wool in Bleeding heart colour - this is yarn I won in a previous KAL competition

14/5/13 - had a wee woopsie when I tried balling the hank of wool without my husbands help on Saturday night, over 3hrs (spread over 3days) of untangling and winding later I finally can start this project!

Got guage with 4mm needles. Going lovely and smoothly, in one evening I’ve done all the shoulder/ neck shaping and joined the body in the round. Love how the colours are coming out
