Diorama

Here's my latest finished knitting project (and one of a whole slew of purple projects that are in the works). I discovered Berroco Vintage yarn and it's awesome pattern support at my LYS a few weeks ago and bought three skeins to make this vest from Arts & Crafts booklet.

The project came together quickly and was a very satisfying knit. I finished most of this on the train ride to and from Toronto a few weeks ago. The yarn is great to work with and I'll definitely be using it on other projects once I knit down some of my stash.

Here are the pattern details:
Pattern: Diorama from Berroco's Arts & Crafts booklet
Yarn: Berroco Vintage, 3 skeins of Dewberry
Needles: Us 8
Ravelry Link: craftr's Diorama

    I love this! its so figure flattering. I want to make one now. But it looks like its mostly purling, which I do not enjoy. hmmmm.

    That's a brilliant colour! How do you manage to look so happy in your pics? Does Jon take them? I usually take my own and forget to smile cause I'm concentrating so hard - big old frown is what I get for my efforts ;)
    Cheers,
    Christine

    It looks great on you! I got some of that yarn to make a cardi for myself. It's a heather purple.

    It turned out great. You are an amazingly quick knitter. And that's the perfect vest for this time of year.

    That is gorgeous and fits you wonderfully. I like that you could wear it year round with or without a shirt underneath.

    I love the colour and the pattern. I would love to get back to knitting, but quilting always seems to get in the way.
