Here is my latest FO...pre-blocked: the Back to School U Neck Vest by Stefanie Japel in her Fitted Knits book.
Pattern: Back to School U Neck Vest, Fitted Knits by Stefanie Japel
Yarn: Shine Worsted, Knit Picks in Mallard - a little less than 8 skeins
Needles: Knit Pick Options, Size 6 & 4
Modifications: I bound off additional stitches at the shoulders to make them more narrow. I also increased the length a bit for the times I wear it alone.
Stats: I like the fit and color a lot. I think I'm going to soak and block this, especially with the yarn's shedding issues. This is my first time knitting with Shine, which is a cotton/modal blend. I think this will work great over a crisp work shirt (once it stops shedding the green). New pics to come.....
I'm back to my Orangina top. I'm hoping to finish front portion this weekend. Hopefully the vest is a good sign to possitive knits to come.
