They were super easy, and took less than an hour to make. Syd's Mom Jenny loved them.
In my Mom's UnderTheBed (hidden?) storage bin I found a skein of Dream in Color laceweight yarn (Sour Pear colorway). In the same bag was the pattern she must have received with it, Flyaway vest.
Truth: I started the vest and hated it, so I changed it a little, and I still hated it. So I frogged it.
This is a photo of what I had started.
I didn't like that the edge was a P3K1 rib and that the purl side faces out. I'm a KNITTER because I like the way KNIT stitches look. I'm not a PURLER. Purl stitches on the outside of a project is not my favorite.
I will keep looking for something to make with this yarn. The color is unexpected, but fantastic.
Later Knitters!

I hate the purl stitch too! Its ugly! I love the yarn as well. Its very earthy.
