Well that's may not work out so well...

Listening To: The Jean Genie by David Bowie

While listening to the new episode of Stash and Burn, It inspired me to want to knit a Vest really badly. I've actually been wanting to knit a vest for a while, and I've been talking about it, but I never really looked into it. Then I remembered a bunch of Lionbrand Wool Ease that I have in my stash in a nice teal blue color that I really love, so I thought "I'll use that for a vest!"

Then I started daydreaming about how I would wear it, and the long sleeved t-shirts I could wear under it, until Nicole and Jenny started talking about picking a neutral color for the vest, so that It would go with other things in my wardrobe, seeing as it's a layering peice. 

Duh, Kaity! I didn't even think of that. All the shirts I was envisioning wearing it with are bright colors.


Vest Yarn?

Yeah, that's not gonna work... I can't wear a teal vest and a purple shirt, i'd look like a Crazy lady, but I really want to use that yarn!

I do have one shirt that would work, maybe, but i'd have to wear it with that shirt everytime I wore the vest. Maybe I'll knit it anyway and just go shopping for something to wear under it... I dunno! Any ideas? 

Anyway, in other knitting news... there really isn't all that much news. I got past the heel on my Charade sock, wanna see?


Charade Progress
there's a lot of teal in this post, isn't there?

I'm gonna go look around on Ravelry for inspiration for my vest, then go knit on my sock some more. Have a lovely day!

  1. What about dying the yarn? Otherwise, I'd go with shopping for more shirts to match with it.

Say something nice, and I'll try to do the same back!
