Gilet Is Done


I finished knitting the gilet early last week, but then froze at the thought of sewing the pieces together. After a diversion to tat Ninetta's butterflies, I got on with the job, trying to ignore the feeling that a competition judge was peering over my shoulder. The gilet is not easy to photograph, the crumpled bits should drape when it's worn. It's done, I'm going to put it away until March and get on with something else.

  1. That looks wonderful. The patterns in the wool work so well. About all I know how to knit is cables.
    By the way, I left comments on your comments on my blog. Sorry that video is spotty for you. Hope this helps.
