Finished Projects

Doreen dropped by this morning wearing her Tessellated Vest (pattern purchased on Ravelry). It is gorgeous!!!

Doreen knit the third size. The Dyed in the Wool colour is Ghost Ranch and the Suri Silk colour is Set Sail. The main colour (navy) isn’t available anymore but I suggest Malabrigo Arroyo in Prussia Blue. Here are more colour combinations on the website.

There is a bit of a sad story (with an happy outcome) about the vest. Doreen did most of her knitting at the cottage. She took her vest to the dock to knit and dropped a full skein of Dyed in the Wool into the lake. The skein got caught on the grasses at the bottom and was unsalvageable. Doreen had to purchase another skein and luckily it matched very well and you can’t tell where she used it.

Seeing Doreen in her vest is going to spark me on to get mine finished. I have one armhole and the neckband to do. It is so close.

Karen sent a photo of her Alpine Bloom hats.

Anyone else addicted to Alpine Bloom hats besides me?
Three hats in less than two weeks most fun Knit ever.

I could definitely knit another Alpine Bloom Hat. It was fun to see the colours changing. I believe that Karen used Spincycle Dyed in the Wool that were leftover from other projects.

Tomorrow is Snowflower cast on day. I have my yarn at home in case I’m up early and the pattern is released in the morning.
