Notes

Finally managed to finish this. The time taken was due in part to working on other projects and test knits, however, I did have to frog and rework sections several times, due to the differences in working the vest rather than the sweater version not being clearly marked. If you choose to work the vest version, then make sure you read through the complete pattern carefully first.

Although this has been a ‘hard work’ project, especially for such a basic garment, it has come out beautifully and hopefully will be well received. If not then I’ll rework the yarn into something for myself as it is truly lovely to work with and has a lovely drape and soft touch.

Well after he tried it on he decided it was a little loose, so I said I’d see what I could do, and after a little careful warm washing and blocking, it has tightened up nicely, and the fabric is much firmer now, which he’s happier with. You can see the difference in the photos I think if you look at the armholes.

So he is happy with it and has actually worn it several times to work already smiley
