All Day Vest

I’m am enjoying knitting the All Day Vest. It is easy to make and is coming out very nice. The Pound of Love used in this pattern is a wonderful yarn. It is soft and works up well. I know that when the vest is finished, I will love wearing it.

An adorable first sweater

The All Day Vest is an adorable first sweater project for beginning knitters, and a fun and easy knit for those with a little more experience. The kit makes a nice gift (to yourself) or for someone else, and the ability to choose the color is a real bonus. This was the first time I had bought a kit for myself, but it surely won't be the last. I like the way this pattern is laid out: the knitter gets a brief overview of how the vest will be constructed; great information on gauge and how to achieve the correct gauge; and then the stitches that will be required to make the vest. The pattern is straightforward, and it is a good idea to read through the pattern in its entirety before knitting. The only thing I would have added is to note the vest is begun from the bottom with a k1,p1 ribbing with the garter stitch lapels at both sides. I always appreciate a schematic, too which this pattern does not have and while this is such a simple piece it might seem unnecessary; it would be beneficial for the beginning knitter to see. The Pound of Love is an absolute dream to knit (and I found it knits to the gauge suggested with the needle suggested.) The yarn is very soft and the color I choose, Sugar Cookie, oh, what a beautiful warm neutral! There are many lovely colors in Pound of Love and the hardest part about making this vest is what color to choose. The vest also comes in a wide range of sizes which is very much appreciated. Highly recommended.

I just finished the All Day Vest in Pound of Love (the muted gold color). It's a very easy pattern that would be good for a beginner. There is only sewing at the shoulders and pockets. I must admit that I had some trouble attaching the pockets. I used a crochet stitch, and it didn't really work too well. I blocked with steam to make the ribbing lie flat. It will be a nice over layer.

I choose a light pumpkin color for Fall and can not wait to finish my project. The pound of love yarn is perfect for this and the color is just beautiful.
