Jo Sharp Vest

Pattern: Jo Sharp Vest from Knit Issue 1

Yarn:Jo Sharp Alpaca Silk Georgette

Time taken:Mmm not sure I seemed to knit this really quickly and then left it there when all I had to do was finish off one of the armholes. I'd say probably 2 weeks knitting in total.

Pattern Modifications:For some reason I thought the armhole was going to be too long so I cut it short a few rows at the top but I'm really sorry I did now as I could do with the extra length in the body - ah well. I don't care enough to unpick and reknit! It was only 6 rows shorter so it wouldn't have made a drastic difference.

Difficulty: None!

Winner/Loser?: Yes, total winner, I love it!

Only one more day before we start the marathon journey home, 4 planes, 27 hours in the air, 36 hours travelling in total - how I wish for a Star Trek "transporter" to just whisk me there. Ah well, I've no doubt it'll be worth it. 2 Weddings, a big family birthday celebration and many meetings up with friends already planned for the next 3 weeks - it's gonna be busy, I can't wait! Next post from Ireland - wahoo!!
