As it so happens, I've been knitting vests for a few decades, long before my declaration of the end of sleeves. My mom used to work in a dermatologist's office, and wore a lab coat to work. A sweater vest was a practical item to wear underneath. Over the years, she collected a lot of hand knit vests, all knit by me, as my mom does not knit herself. I posted this last month, the Tuscany Tank, but over the holidays snuck a model shot, when we were visiting family in Littleton, Colorado. The story of this vest is also posted on the Briar Rose Fibers Knitalong blog. I think the classic design of this piece can really span generations. It looks cute on my mom.
In other news, it looks like a piece of work is now moving out of acquisitions and into production. I'm on pins and needles.
