Jamberoe Vest

Hi everyone

Well you know how I have been telling you for weeks and weeks and weeks (about 6 or 7 actually) that I had a big project to show - but I didn't show you??????? First off it was too warm to wear it and then I could not get photos, so then I gave up - not great photos, but at least you can see it

Well here it is .........

Jamberoe Vest Back On, originally uploaded by Aussie Maria.

Now for the front .......

Looks better on the hanger  ☺

Now for the details -

Pattern was found here - http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/red-granny-square-crocheted-vest

Dawn also has a blog in which there are many beautiful crocheted items.  So pop on over here, Fiddlesticks,  for a read, that's if you have not already been there ☺

I only loosely followed the pattern as I am too short and too wide for the dimensions, but the instructions are worked based on your own measurements.  It was mainly the length that I found tricky and adjustments were made.  It is basically granny squares and triangles.  I would have liked it a bit more on the front or .......

I can always lose some tummy  ☺  ☺  ☺

Yarn - Colinette Cadenza Jamboree and Bendigo Woollen Mills Luxury in Ruby - both of which are 8 ply very, very, very, very soft yarn.

Hook - 5mm (that's just my preference for the slightly thicker than normal, soft 8 plys)

I am very happy with the vest.  I usually don't like too much on my arms and this was an idea I was working on while The Garden Bell was working on her VO cardigan.  Similiar ideas, heh!!!

Have a great weekend

I am going to see Cats tomorrow with D3!!!
