Boogie Vest from Knitty
Lamb's Pride Bulky in Deep Charcoal, US 10's-Started with Denise needles, but because of my tight knitting and dragging, Bamboo circ's were used.
Although the color is darker as you'll see below, this was the best picture I could get of the cabling. I love to do cables! I currently have 2 cable WIP's right now and at least 1 more in the queue. The bulkiness did not allow me to cable without a needle, which I really like to do.
It would have been a quicker knit if I didn't have to sneak a few other projects in. I did have to redo the neckline as I did have a cable going the wrong way. I was so proud of myself that I fixed it by dropping down 7 stitches to do so....after I fixed it, upon closer exam, I realized I had messed up the beginning of the neckline by not following the pattern, and the kind of picky person that I am... it did get frogged and reknit.
Oh...did you want to see it on me?? It fits...I finally made something without arms that fits! Come to think of it, I haven't made anything with arms that fits...yet ;)
I may tuck in the shirt when I wear it for real! Sorry, no face as it was a looong day yesterday and I don't look spry!
It is warm and will be perfect for my trip! I get new socks and a vest to bring. Had to get a new suitcase. Hubby swore I'd have enough room..duh, something a man would say...When I told my son there may not be room for giftees, let alone yarn he told me, maybe you'd better get another one! You see, unbeknownst to me, they had thrown out the largest one we had.
All better now, I'm packed and ready to go...gotta do like 1001 things before I leave for the airport. Driving 1 1/2 hrs away as the gov't won't pay for us to fly out of the airport in our city and leaving verrrrry early. I probably overpacked the knitting. But you know, if I want to fit anymore yarn in...I'd better get knitting..right!
I'll be back next week! If I get computer access I'll check in.
Take care everyone!

Looks awesome - I love that vest and love wearing them. I don't get as hot like wearing sweaters.
If you are going on a vacation - have a good one!
Great job on the vest. I have 3 store-bought ones (I keep saying I'll make one of my own, but you know how that goes). I like wearing them with an untucked shirt.
Have a good trip :)
Fantastic!!
Looks wonderful! I'm glad to see you;ll be able to take it on your trip.
I always pack an empty bag on a trip. I have a duffle bag that when empty folds down to almost nothing. That way if I find treasures that need to come home I have a way to get them there.
Lovely! It looks great on you.
Have a good trip!
