Well, I’ve finally finished up my chainmail-inspired vest. I combined Eunny Jang’s Ivy League Vest pattern from IK Winter 2007 and a chainmail motif I designed inspired by EZ’s March Chainmail vest from the Knitter’s Almanac.
Yarn: Knit Picks Palette in grass, green and natural, 2 skeins each.
Needles: Size 5 Options.
Mods: I added about 14 rows to the body to make it longer.
I didn’t like how the color combination turned out (Lesson to be learned here - think hard about your color choices for fair-isle and be willing to buy more yarn). Thus, I bought some turquoise Jacquard dye and over-dyed it. This was my first time dyeing wool, and I think it turned out well, although there are a few splotchy parts in the back.
