My First Finished Object of 2006
Pattern: Boogie by Amy King in Knitty.com
Yarn: Cascade 128 (just over 3 skeins)
Modifications: As I mentioned in a previous post, the pattern does not include any shaping for the v-neck. I added shaping by decreasing one stitch on each RS row. I don’t think it looks too horrible, but maybe just a tad funky. In retrospect it might have looked better if I followed the pattern as written. Here is a close-up of the neck:
Upon finishing the vest, I realized that it’s not quite my style, so it will be a gift for someone else. Hopefully she will like it!
it’s pink, it’s cabled, it’s done, I love it. I swear you are such a good friend for giving things away left and right. Im sure your friend will like it!
Congrats on your 1st FO of the year… it looks great
It’s too bad you’ve decided not to keep it though but I’m certain your friend will appreciate the gift!
Love the color. Even if its not for you, I’m sure the recipient will love it.
Sorry it did not work out for you - but I think it looks great, Caitlyn!
I think the neck looks fine. Congratulations on the first 2006 FO!
nice color! i hope you will find a good home for this lovely vest.
It looks great. And what a generous gift. What’s next?
It’s a great color! I never got around to showing you pictures of mine. What I ended up doing, which is what I also should have told you, is carrying up the cables to the top. I placed decreases right after/just before the cables.
Ohhh that’s perty! I love the color. I bet that it would look better on you than you think. I’m sure that whoever you gift it too will love it. It’s really gorgeous!
Cute! it would look great over a button-up shirt. I really love that color…nice job.
Congratulation on your first project of this year! I like the color! In my opinion, I think it needs some edging work to finish the neck and the armholes, then you may see it better.
It’s very pretty! I like the mods. I’m sure whoever will receive it will love it. What a luscious pink.
pretty!!
gorgeous colour! it is so lush looking.
i casted on for boogie 2 days ago! thanks for the wonderful picture it is beautiful caitlyn!
I love the color! I think the neckline is fine. I know a few people who’d love it. You did a beautiful job with the cabling and shaping.
It’s pretty! I think the neckline looks nice, too. It will make someone feel very lucky to receive it.
So gorgeous! It came out great!
