The vest is finished!
I designed and made this vest for Mom’s 66th birthday, which was in January, but she’s used to getting late handmade presents. Yesterday it was officially finished, and I gave it to her and took photos:

So cute! Both vest and Mom :) (more photos on flickr)
It’s made of Knitpicks’ “Chroma” and “Wool of the Andes” yarn. I worked it bottom-up and steeked the armholes so the stripes would be consistent. Crocheted steeks are MUCH more fun than sewn ones!
You can read all about its construction and see more photos on its Ravelry page (no login required):

I took it along to the North Coast Knitters Guild Knit-at-Night on Wednesday and it was much admired! I love love love the Knit-at-Night. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging and warm. I really look forward to going every month.

Beautiful! I’m not sure it’s great with yellow pants but….it — and it’s recipient — is gorgeous!
