[Oh. Throw in a handful of peanut M&M’s and I’m gone hook, line, and sinker.]
One more thing – see the shirt under the Vest? Got it, Old Navy, pennies – waffle-knit thermal HOODIE! Olive Green. (and I got a burgundy one too!)
MODS to ze Pattern: tweaked the gauge from 1620 to 1722 for the Silk Garden yarn. Made the ribbing longer (to the first cable cross). The cable looks a lot more dimensional in person than in the picture – love that mirror-in-the-bathroom-effect and HEY! I cleaned the mirror first!
I like – it is warm, and cheerful and most of all, IT’s a VEST!
Mondo Cable = Hot b. Marie! With coffee and M&M’s on the side :o)
I think I need to check out Old Navy today–love how you have this styled!
Fab! I really like that particular colorway!
LOVELY! It looks so freaking good!!!!!!
Great look! I’m heading to ON this weekend!
I love the striping and the colorway. Nice job!
Love the vest, love the color, and love the hoodie. You wear it well – tr
Love it, Love it! I have the pattern and some NORO – time for a new project this weekend! Cool!
Beautiful! How many skeins of Noro did it take? I’m asking because I’m looking for projects for Noro leftover skeins and am not up for the lovely Lizard afghan.
Can’t wait to see all the Ribbi Pullis in Scout’s Swag yarn. A great dyer and a great designer put together, you can’t beat that!
Love it, love it, love it!
So cute!
Ooo, might have to try that ~ and I think we’ll swing by ON on the weekend! Almost finished second Twist front, so I may wear it this season after all ~
Oh, can you ballpark how many Noro skeins it took?
Thanks for the heads up regarding Old Navy! I just got home about $115 lighter – and 3 large shopping bags heavier! Now I have to get a vest finished!

That vest turned out so well. I haven’t been a big Noro fan but this might just change my mind! I especially love the way the cables cross into the neckline. Cool!
Most excellent. I have some Noro marinating in the stash, and this may be the project. Thanks.
the vest is gorgeous! i really like it with the hoodie… cute!
Ah, coffee and peanut M&Ms – definitely the Breakfast of Champions. Love the vest. Love the cable. Love the stipes (woohoo)and love the very creative, edgy use of the hoodie. Great stuff. As always.
Very cute, especially with the cool hoodie! You’re such a cool chic B-M! :)
Now that’s something a Floridian can wear all the time too! Thanks for mentioning what’s under, I love Old Navy! Hey thanks for stopping by! I have a Scooby Doo that lives in my cube at work! Sometimes, my snacks go missing;)
I love my Scooby! TeeheeHeeHeeHeeHee. Hee.
