Cabled Vest

After the Patti jacket fiasco, I needed to start a new project. I've been wanting a vest so I decided on this one:


I'm knitting it in Rowan Calmer, a super soft cotton blend yarn, on size 7 needles. The color is called Tinkerbell. Here's a color swatch:


It's sort of a cable rat's nest, but it's a fun and interesting pattern. And no sleeves, so it'll be fast. The pattern calls for both the front and back to be cabled, but no thanks, I'll just do the front. Or maybe one cable up the back or two up the sides of the back. Front and back center cable panels seems too bulky to me.

Plus I'm lazy like that.
