Before I embark on my wife’s Alpaca cardigan I have decided to practice some more by knitting a waistcoat for myself. I found the pattern in a charity shop and I already had the wool (not sure I would have chosen this colour, but I think it will be OK).
Finally finished it, except for the buttons which are on order. It’s quite a tight fit but as the back is knitted entirely in rib it’s pretty elastic. If I lost a few pound it would look better. The only thing I am not completely happy with is the ribbing at top of the pockets and how the pockets show. This could be tidier I think.
