No posts for the whole month of May...naughty naughty! But here I am at the last minute, pulling out this vest, which I finished almost three months ago! Dear me.
Pattern: Neulottu Salmiakkiruutuinen SlipoveriDesigner: Anne-Maija Immonen
Source: Novita Magazine Spring 2009
Needles: 4.5mm and 5.0mm bamboo straights
Yarn Details:
- Novita Rose Mohair
- 65% acrylic, 35% mohair
- 50 grams = 189 metres
- colours #337 (green) #705 (lilac) and #011 (white)
Here's what the original looked like. See all of those diamonds on the front? That means ELEVEN bobbins of sticky mohair getting tangled all over the place!I lasted a measly four rows with eleven bobbins before ripping back and deciding on a simpler approach.
There was also a slight modification with the sizing in that I cast on for the second size but increased for the third size by the time I reached the underarms.
I like this one a lot and have worn it quite often.
Coming up soon: a little yellow summer dress!
