Sharing a new FO


I have to share a new finished object I just wrapped up. I haven't done too much knitting for myself or of garments. And the Circle Vest in Silk Knits was one that caught my eye and I wanted to make. When I saw some lovely, lovely yarn in Charlotte Yarn (Scotia Silk) I blew the budget a bit and got two skeins for the Circle Vest.

I'm sort of proud of a couple of things 1) the original yarn is worsted weight and the yarn I chose was Chunky so I modified that a bit 2) the original yarn is striped and I chose two color ways I thought looked good together and alternated every 2 rows and I'm very happy with how it "striped". 3) I made my second garment and I'm taking both of them on a *business trip* this week.

Now I finally will get back to a bit of Christmas gift making, but my bit of selfish knitting was oh so fun, and I had to share! More details and pics on my blog and in Ravelry.

With all the knitting you do it is good to indulge! Glad the yarn substitution worked out nicely for you too!
