Patchwork vest, 2024
This vest is one of my favourite projects. It combines two skill sets I really enjoy using- working with colour, and knitting engineering. The pattern (No Shades of Grey Cardigan, by Katie Jones) was for a cardigan; turning it into a cohesive looking vest was a great way to test my knitting problem solving. I used my treasured hand-dyed yarn leftovers - projects like this are a great of using up and showcasing little bits of intense or weird colours!
