Amazing Cable Knit Vest

This is the free Cable Panel Vest pattern from the Lion Brand Yarn website made using Amazing Yarn in the Wildflower #203 colorway. I used 4 balls of yarn and size US7/4.5mm and US8/5mm needles. This vest was so fun to make and easy to pick up while on the train. The colors in the yarn are absolutely gorgeous. The price is nice too! The only change I made was to have the collar join in the center back rather than the shoulder side. I would definitely make this vest again.

Knitted Bride & Groom

My knitted bride and groom come from the Wedding Extra 2009 supplement of Simply Knitting. It is designed by the genius Alan Dart. I followed the pattern exactly but substituted about 14 kinds of leftover sock yarn to match the colors and used size US2/2.75mm DPNs.
