My first vest of the next year of the vest. The One Cable from Blue Sky Alpacas, knit in Blue Sky Worsted. I cast on for this last month, I think. I used six hanks of the yarn instead of the five specified in the pattern, because I made it longer. That's the only modification to the design. This yarn is some kind of yummy. I do a total immersion blocking. A lot of dye came off, to the point where the woolwash bath looked like ink. The color ended up having more dimension, and the wool/alpaca blend took on a lovely halo. I wore the vest yesterday, and it's so comfortable. Here's a close up of the lovely cable detail. You know I'm not kidding when I say I want one in every color.

Gorgeous! Having one in every color just makes sense if it's something you'll want to wear everyday! (I do this with shoes.)
The color and pattern are beautiful. I hope we'll get to see it at KIP sometime!
