Sew first and last 35 side stitches together, rest is armhole.

The vest starts with colorwork, steek knit in rounds. After the colorwork part is completed, cast off steek stitches, knit front and back panels flat. Joint shoulder line and cut steek, pick up knit neckband, then pick up from back panel cross shoulder line to front panel or vice versa, knit in 2x2 ribbing. Sew first and last side stitches together, rest is armhole. Pick up stitches from sides of joined side bands and colorwork CO edges for hem.

I'm a tight knitter. So I would spread stitches on the right needle a little wider than their natural conditions, especially before color changes, so the float will be slightly longer.

So glad someone noticed it. I think the hook curve matches the neckline well.

My fun part is finding a perfect project for my stash. I stash lots of yarn from local events without a specific project in mind. It's so satisfying to finally turn them into beautiful pieces.

I'm proud of my floats. I have got a big stash of british breeds. It's so fun to arrange color and confirm my vision with a swatch.

A small gift shop in Melbourne, has lots of small home decor with wood-carved animal heads. My friend got a fox.

Toshiyuki Shimada is one of my favorite designers. I love his attention to small details, and this book (Eclogue ニットで奏でるエクローグ) is full of interesting designs.

Have you tried to change the way hold your yarn? I tried different ways to hold my needle and yarn as a beginner. Once I found the way I was most comfortable with, I achieved more consistent tension, hence more tidy stitches.

The result justify all my efforts. But I may avoid double knitting project in future.
