WIP - Lace vest



Shortly before I went for my operation and while I was in hospital I started on a new project. I needed something that did not require much thought  so I kept with the lace pattern of the {Lace Back Hoodie}, as that is so easy to remember.

I only had five balls of Rowan Bamboo Soft Classic, which I got in a sale so it had to be a smaller project.


I just cast on 100 stitches and knit until 1.5 balls were done, then I cast off and had my front piece for a vest completed.

I am half way with the back piece now and hope to have it completed some time this week. Oh, and I have no ides if it is the right fit, I am just winging it this time.

  1. I hope that you are starting to feel better, my thoughts are with you! I love the color of the bamboo yarn, it is one of my favorite fibers to work with. It will be great as a summer garment.

  4. Very pretty pattern, although it looks quite complicated to me. I'd never manage that over a hospital stay. When DH was in for surgery all I could manage were dishcloths :)
