12 in 2012 #12

So here it is the twelfth project all done and dusted.  First knitting goal for 2012 achieved!!

 

 

 

 

HH saw the vest  I knitted for myself in March and really likes it.  I thought this would make a good Christmas gift for her.  I made some modifications to the original pattern.  I added  some skyp rib panels: 2 on each front and 5 across the back.  I also used a neckband rather than a collar and made the armhole trim narrower.  It turned out pretty well except for the button band pulling up at the bottom.  Hopefully that will disappear after the sweater has been blocked.

Pattern: Magnolia Sweater Vest by Classic Elite Yarns
