Gravatar Awesome job! Such a great knit, isn't it?


Gravatar Oh it looks great!! Fab job. And it looks really good on him - must show husby...maybe this will convince him that a vest is a good idea!!


Gravatar Bells - i love that vest! You did a really good job and he is handsome. Now i want to knit one for my brother.


Gravatar Absolutely gorgeous Bells. Your brother looks good in it, and oh so satisfying to give a gift of yourself with one of your handknits.


Gravatar Oh, Bells, I'd say you outdid yourself. The vest is just beautiful (or is that handsome?). I think it is so great that this was a request. The only thing my brother ever requested was a Ralph Lauren hat he had seen in a store and wanted to know if I could copy it. Your story also reminded me of how my grandparents came to my school and picked me up in a pickup truck when my brother was born. My little nana standing on the corner yelling, "It's a boy!"


Gravatar That is such a wonderful gift to give your brother! And you are right, he is very handsome.


Gravatar Lovely job.


Gravatar Hmmmmm, very nice!

Vest isn't bad either! ;o)


Gravatar stunning! Good job, love the colour.


Gravatar Nice job!! I like the cable. And isn't it a much better way to knit a vest, in the round up to the armholes, than seaming the sides? Silly designers.


Gravatar Wow - what a cutie! Like the vest too ;o)


Gravatar Kick-ass vest! Wonderful job on the cables. It makes that tatooed yobbo look civilized and cuddly. He'll have girls thronging him.


Gravatar Wow - it's hard to say which is handsomer, the brother or the vest!


Gravatar Isn't that peculiar when that happens?

I just found out one of my brothers now has 3 sewing machines, so I feel a little better about having 90-eleven knitting needles.


Gravatar He's quite the model, isnt he? Very nice work, and well done on the conversion. It looks fabulous! Note to self: don't show Beloved, he may get ideas about wanting a vest as well as a jumper, as well as a beanie.....


Gravatar It makes him look like a 'farmer' in a Country Style magazine! The good-looking genes run strong in your family : )

If your fellas are like mine, it's not surprising that you and your mum picked the same colours. P. seems to only dress in shades of gray or green that's so close to gray it's debatable whether or not it is indeed gray.


Gravatar Oh, forgot. Could you share what are the things one need to do when converting a pattern from flat to in-the-round? I think there's something about reducing the number of stitches but I can't remember.


Gravatar same vest as the one Donna knits!! hehehe. and same yarn and colour that your mum bought. really a huge coincidence there!! maybe it's true like what they said, "Great minds think alike"!!

btw, is bendigo rustic 12 ply = patons jet? as in the gauge?


Gravatar Handsome brother and lovely vest. Only 10 days? You're a wonder.


Gravatar Very Handsome (and the boy's not bad either!!)
Excellent job there! Love the cables


Gravatar Great vest! The only garment that I knit are vests as they are fast & seamless.


Gravatar Just a lovely vest, Bells. I am almost inspired to try a vest in the round and split it up at the arm holes--sounds so sensible~And funny about how your mom did the same thing with the same yarn. Great minds think alike!


Gravatar What a lovely vest! Well done. And your brother looks quite chuffed about it as well.


Gravatar Wow what a great vest, lucky brother to have such a crafty sister. You did it so quickly, very inspiring.


Gravatar That is a great vest and he looks cool in it! Some people don't in vests I think!


Gravatar A great vest. I love the masculine look of the cables.

What a coincidence about yout mother.


Gravatar Great vest. The model wears it well. The cable work is fantastic.


Gravatar You did an awesome job, it almost tempts me to put down my hooks and try my hand with the needles again, I just love cables, their so classic and I just can't duplicate them in crochet.


Gravatar What an awesome job, Bells! And what a nice brother to treasure it so wonderfully!


Gravatar Great job Bells! Very funny about your mum knitting one in the same yarn for your dad!


Gravatar I should show my brother! He would probably die if I told him I was making him a vest! Lovely work!!


Gravatar Lucky Keith and he and the vest look cool!! Cool and trendy!!! Such a nice vest, love the pattern!!!
