Abalone

new project on the needles! It will be a vest/short sleeved cardigan. I can’t get over the colour, I’m absolutely mesmerized by the ever changing pearlescent hues.

I’m using my silk/merino singles yarn. I’m making size S and the whole thing is made out of little over 3 skeins of yarn. It’s a quick knit too, on 5mm needles the fabric grows rapidly.

I’m trying to keep it simple, so it has stockinete body with garter stitch trims, the only ‘fancy’ touch is an i-cord bind of, which gives it nice finish.

I’ll have pics of the finished item soon, I hope I’ll finish today… Maybe I’ll release a pattern? Will see how it goes…
