I have been loving making vests lately. They are perfect for baby boys in the spring and cool summer days. I've been designing my own. Some are in the local Blooming Bellies, soon to be Little Locals, and some are in my Etsy store.
My recent favorite is my Little Fishes vest. This design has been rolling around in my head for a couple of years. I finally got it out but now I need to get it written down. That's the not-so-fun part, at least for me. I prefer to start my next project rather than write down my finished one.
This one is the same pattern as the orange stripey vest in my last post. Again I used handmade wooden buttons from my cherry tree. The yarn is Louisa Harding Amitola, a super yummy wool/silk blend.
Then I have my two little tie vests. This was a new adventure for me. I've never done intarsia in the round before and it took me a several tries and several fails to finally figure out how to make my vision work.

These two are done with Cascade Pima Cotton and Wendy Supreme Cotton DK. Very nice yarn to work with.
Tell me what you think!
