FO: Deep V-Argyle Vest

DSC00743.JPG
The Deep V Argyle vest has made it to the finishing line. The vest is super comfortable to wear, and is not at all, as I had suspected, very warm. The DK thickness talked for a midwinter vest, but I have already used the vest, and it was just perfect.

Eunny's pattern is well written and easy to follow, even if I think there is a mistake in the earlier versions of the ribbing instructions. There is plenty of description in how to make steeks, perfect even for a perfect beginner to the world of steeks. Still, my yarn was too slippery, and I ended up securing the steeks with a seam. The neck edge and armhole ribbing is picked up in the first stitch of the steek, look at the picture, a very neat edge against the ribbing, isn't it! The hem ribbing continues in a beautiful manner into the edge stitches of the fake side seam. Eunny's small details makes knitting this vest very satisfying, you look at the patterns and almost say aloud a big Ahaaa!

Project details:
Pattern: Eunny's Deep V Argyle vest
Yarn: Jaeger Extra Fine Merino DK in Raspberry and Blackcurrant
Needles: Addi bamboo 3,5 mm 60 cm and dpns
Gauge: 22 stitches and 32 rows to make 10 x 10 cm
Alterations: I started the ribbing at the hem with 1 knit, *2 purl, 2 knit*, not 1 knit, *2 knit, 2 purl*, as my pattern specifies. This order creats the ribbing you see in the picture above.

jos kamera lihottaa kymmenen kiloa niin sie olet varmaan 40 kiloinen oikeasti:)Liivi näyttää hyvältä. Saanko kysyä miten voisin lukea blogiasi rss-feedinä?

Öööhhh... vad säger man... Denna ÄR nog helt totalt underbar. Har sett flera varianter av en nu, men du är nog den enda hittills som INTE har sytt om den, hihihi... Den är döläcker... Hm, gissa om man känner för att göra en då... även om jag och mönsterstickning går mindre ihop... svårt att hålla trådarna på rätt ställe, ;). Men, kanske efter Hammarös stickstämma och Fair Isle kan man tänkas testa... Men, tänk om den inte blir bra då och man kastat ut på allt... hm, tåls verkligen att fundera över, ;). Hm, glömde fråga dottern om hon varit i Torneå och kollat på garn, ;). Ja efter ditt förra inlägg, hihihi. Hm, men hon hade sett en skylt med texten Pankki Banki eller något på... En pank bank associerade hon omgåede till, hihihi. Men, kan ju vara en pantbank också???
Må så gott... värmländska igen på tur... kramis, och njut av denna väst... super...

Beautiful as always! You are brave to try out the steeks but obviously they worked out wonderfully. Do you know what kind of yarn would have been 'sticky' enough to support the steeks without a seam? I'm guessing that the merino was the nicer option!

Ooh! That is fabulous. Perfect choice of colors and the low neckline makes it so modern. Love it :-)

On näyttänyt kutimena oudolta, mutta sinun päälläsi on just nappiin!

Absolutely fabulous. It looks terrific on you.

Oi! Se on todella kaunis!

Jättefin blev den! Och den klär dig alldeles utmärkt. Om jag skulle komma mig upp ur den här oinspirationsgropen nån gång skulle jag också sätta igång, men det ser inte ljust ut för tillfället ... :/

Super duper gorgeous! When I see this masterpiece I want to make one too.

Beautiful vest. It looks GREAT on you!

Todella hieno liivi. Itsellä myös tämän ohje pyörinyt hyppysissä jo kauan - ehkä nyt uskaltaudun neulomaan. Kiitos inspiraatiosta :)
