I made this for a store sample. We wanted something to show off Cascade Venezia, which has great stitch definition. The pattern was really well-written.

Things I liked and recommendations:

• Great shaping for a flattering fit.
• The EZ sewn bind-off gave it a very finished look. This did take a while. Also, it is a two step process --- I tried to do the bind off in one step but it turned out visibly looser.
• Because of the shaping and cables with the two different repeats, I created a spreadsheet to track things.

Changes that I would make if I did it for me:

• The length of the vest was a tad bit too long for me (I am short-waisted.
• I also have narrow shoulders so I might do a couple of more arm-hole decreases.
