That's my try at Phildar
Pull#486-T6-628 and I love it. I knit this small so that it'd be fitted, just as it is shown in the pattern. My size is not a 32/34, but I had this feeling that the vest in the magazine photo is clipped in the back on that thin model. That's why I still went for the smallest one. And I was right.
Details: knit in the round (that was not that hard to figure out, I only had to be careful about checking the pattern to make sure that I was looking at the right graph). I used Wolle Rödel Toscana yarn, which is a mix of cotton and acrylic and is really nice to wear. I used 2,5mm (US1,5) and 4,5mm (US7) circular needles. The pattern is very well written and I only spotted one mistake in the chart, which was quite an obvious one.
That's my first FO for Ravelympics'08. It took 10 days to knit & block it. Today it was all dry and I could finally put it on. Yey!

ReplyDeleteWow, what a fast knit for an intricate pattern! Looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteWow--that's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed how fast you knit that up! And I think your choices were perfect. The fit is really nice, and it looks so stylish... now I want to make one too. Ack!
ReplyDeleteThat's some fast knitting! It looks very lovely. I'm glad you anticipated the "pinning-in-the-back" trick. It's very disappointing to trust the pattern based on the photo only to end up with a loosey-goosey knit.
ReplyDeleteit's beautiful and looks professional! i love how you always choose the cutest knits :-)
