Finished Vest Everest

I'm going to give it to my sister no matter what, but finished and flat on a table,
it's pretty cool. Makes me want to keep it.

I think I just love the yarn - and to be honest, it took less than 3 skeins to make the vest so,
I still have 7 left. Wanna bet I can find something more flattering for me. I was thinking Arianna, but I have some purple Rowan Harris Tweed I really want to make that out of.

Any ideas for Arcuania Nature Wool? Stuff you've seen knit up? A universally flattering pattern idea? Maybe it needs to be another Hourglass ( but yawn....) I think a V neck or tunic type neck might be good. Hmmmm.

The top shot is the REAL color. The ones below are darker for some reason.
But I wanted to show off the pretty details.

I love this ribbing in the pattern - twisted rib on the edging, and a purl row to set it apart. I've done ribbing a hundred times, but starting with a row of purls and doing the twisted rib really makes it look defined.

And a pretty bottom too. I love how cables begin!

By the way, Knitsmiths - Did I miss Shireen last week or is she coming next week????
