I recently started the Gilmore Vest. It seems to be a quick knit, so far I have completed 1/3rd of the back. The yarn is an unusual choice for me, I don't usually chose yarn with a lot of non- natural fibres . I saw this in a wool shop in Newtownards and fell for it, despite its acrylic content. I seem to be in a Vest phase at the moment, I am definitely not knitting the same number of socks as before.
The colourway is 3406, a deep purple with little coloured flecks
Riana is a flecked 50% Wool 45% Acrylic 5% Viscose Yarn
This picture shows the stitch definition better but there is a loss of colour
A parcel arrived this morning. A lovely Raveller swapped some of my sock stash to send me 4 skeins of Apple Crumble. I now have 6 and am sure it will be enough for another vest.
Would this vest look good in it? I think so......
Love the purple, and ooh, that greeny loveliness is pretty, too.
ReplyDeleteI seem to end up drooling all over your blog a lot. >_>
I'm just thinking 'blackberry' and 'apple' crumble.....a perfect combination!
ReplyDeleteI am completely the wrong shape for a vest! Which might explain why I have taken to socks of late ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe apple crumble yarn is a gorgeous colour. It would make a lovely vest.
The vest is looking lovely! I always have great hopes that my Saturday will be relaxing and I can knit/enjoy being at home/enjoy being with my family, etc... but it usually ends up hectic and me running errands.
ReplyDeleteLove the Gilmore vest - really beautiful colour. And perfect choice too for this time of year - still not warm enough to 'cast a clout', is it!!
ReplyDeleteLooks good.
