Waistcoat !! Sweatercoat!!




                               Hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend!

                                              Had so much fun getting back
               into knitting........ I finished this sweater...
                                  Waistcoat....

                          Do you want to see it??
                                      

                                    



                               The colour is oatmeal..

                                I knitted with James C. Brett
                              Rustic  Mega Chunky Yarn....

 Pattern Jb118


                      So this pattern knitted up really fast.
                           Used #12mm knitting needles.

                       But I took my time...it's been some
               time that I have knitted and adding in a cable
                                         stitch..

                               Ta Da!!!! drum roll please.....

                                                            
                             I chose one BIG wooden button.

                                     
                   Such a cute sweater for this time of the year.

                                                 
                          Here's a closer look at the cable.

       

                                     


                                     I really liked the gray...
                          that's on the model but gray is not
                                      my colour....


                 How did you keep busy over the last month?


                               Thanks for stopping by!

  1. I was here earlier, and got sidetracked!
    That is amazing, Linda!
    Could you do it with long sleeves?
    I love it!♥️
    I made Miss V an ear warmer, and I started a crochet teddy bear for her for Easter....
    Wish me luck!
    Wish I could find a pattern like yours in crochet......
    Enjoy your week....
