Here’s one of those big slow projects I’ve been making intermittent progress on. In fact, the monster yarn was stolen from the box of things belonging to this vest. That’s officially alright, though; the crocheting is done with plenty of yarn (and in fact a few loose crocheted pieces) left over.
The color on that picture is none too good, though perhaps it helps to hide the fact that I did run out of one particular color of yarn– the seam color– very near the end. There are two or three seams done in a greyer black that I cut out of a self-striping sock yarn.
Now I just need to weave in the ends and decide upon a means of closure. I’m planning to use the side with the ends as the right side, inspired by some of Debbie New’s knitted mosaics that are reminiscent of stained glass. I believe hers featured a fair amount more planning than happened to this vest, though, so I’m not especially confident of my ability to achieve results comparable to hers. I can probably obtain results I like.
I saw the pictures on Flickr, but took a while coming over here. Like the reminder of crazy quilts.
Along similar lines, what’s going on with the zipper project? Is there even a zipper project yet?
Still no zipper project. In fact, I haven’t used the sewing machine for anything in months.
