DROPS waist coat in moss stitch

Ice popsicles in the trees, the gems of nature in my garden yesterday.

One of the first items I knitted when I took up knitting again a couple of years a go, was a waist coat in moss stitch. Thinking that swatching wasn't necessary, I knitted a garment that could have fitted two of me inside. The other day I found it at the bottom of a drawer, and decided to frog it and make one that would fit.

I like the glitter in contrast with the rough cotton/linnen blend.

 The pattern calls for crocheted buttons, but I chose some wooden ones instead.

The yarn is a combination of three different types: cotton/linen blend, glitter and a thin alpaca.

 

This time it fits perfectly, and keeps me warm in just the right places!

In other news, my favourite LYS had a sale on silke-tweed I couldn't ignore....

Mira doesn't see what the fuss is all about.
