Oh I just LOVE surprises!
Here's a surprise FO for your viewing pleasure!
So, operation Holiday '07 was secretly knitting my roommate this vest! This mission was deemed successful tonight when she finally received her [belated] holiday present! The verdict is...IT FITS! Note to self: it is very challenging to knit something in secret with somebody you live with! I can't believe I pulled it off without spilling!
It might look familiar to Fitted Knits fans, it is the Back to School U-Neck vest by Stephanie Japel. The exact same vest that I started (and never finished) in purple- see, here! That is all in the past now because I can have the satisfaction of looking at my version for Jamie instead. Much better. The only modification was making the ribbed portion a little bit longer, nothing crazy. The yarn, Cascade 220 in a happy yellow color, I can't remember the name/dye lot off the top of my head. That mustard-like yellow is Jamie's favorite color. My favorite color is aqua blue which is why my title photo above makes me so happy.
