I finished DH's vest - see pic of him in front of cathedral in Cefalu, Sicily.

You are all so busy!

FINALLY FINISHED: But this monyh I have a few things to show you: You may remember I have made a "modern", pink cardigan, bolero type, which I gave my daughter, (I was never happy to wear it !LOL!) I had some more of that yarn, but I was a bit afraid that I did not have enough to finish a cardigan for myself, and bought two balls in a matching colour.

Finally the cardigan is ready, AND I left...two and a half ball of the original yarn! LOL!

What a stylish vest! AUD ;-)

Nice vest!

Higs, Katherine

That's very nice, the cables look great.

Aud, the cardigan is lovely with the contrast crochet parts and edgings, and the scarf and socks are gorgeous, those colours are really bright and cheerful!

I love that cardigan - the combination of the yarns works well and the style is very attractive.

Judy

Thank you all for the nice comments - nice to have the support. DH is sure there is a better picture of him (with a pleasant smile) but this one showed the vest better. He wore the vest a lot on our trip as a wool layer felt good most of the time in the early spring weather. Judy

Hi Aud,

What a beautiful sweater that is and I love the combination. Now, the socks are my kind of socks, love the colors, looks like what we call Starbright.

Hugs,

Nora

It looks like the vest was worth your efforts even if he isn't wearing a big smile. I really like the color.

The additional color and the way you used it in the cardigan are excellent design choices which give it that special, one-of-a-kind look. The vest pattern is one my patterns in Modular Knits but I can see why you would have problems doing it with a much thinner yarn. The most difficult part of using her patterns with diagonal rows is getting the size you want. I like the way it is looking in the scarf.

Judy, I was going to comment immediately on seeing your pic of DH in his vest but thought I'd read through the rest of this thread first. Now I see this post of yours, and I can't wait!!

Both the vest AND DH are very easy on the eyes!! :o)

Lovely work! Eve :o)

Aud,

I just LOVE the sweater -- so beautiful with the combination of two colors and two types of work. The scarf and socks are beautiful too -- great colors!

I think it's hysterical that you ended up with 2 1/2 balls of the pink yarn left over when you bought 2 balls before starting for fear that you didn't have enough!!!!!!! LOL

Eve :o)

Hi, I didn't finish much last month: 2 cloths 2 6x6 squares

Aud,

I just wanted to chime in & say how lovely your work it! The sweater is beautiful. I love the combination of knit & crochet. The socks and scarf are also great!
