A Day in the Life: Knitting

It is still the lazy days of summer around here. I am getting ready to go away next week and frantically trying to prepare, so it is actually not so lazy for me. Workshops and shows have been taking a lot of my energy, so I have not spent much time in the studio the last week. I have, however, been finishing up a sweater vest that I designed.

I often make a sketch first of a garment I am going to construct. My ideas come from catalogues, magazines, TV, and just plain observing people. I have noticed that ruffles seem to be very big for fall, and I love ruffles!! This vest is knit with a Noro cotton yarn in greens and aquas. It has a double crocheting crew neck with a ruffle up the front.

Will keep you posted to the end!!
