me
Needles & yarn
US 2½ - 3.0 mm
Handspun Falkland, 2 ply

Notes

I span 500g falkland wool, 2-ply, and dyed it using some silk colors (One Arty’s).

I only kept the fair-isle pattern, but I changed the shape : I took example on a sleeveless vest I have and love, and I adapted the stitches number to obtain the right measures.

7th, june

The steeks are OK, and I’m now knitting the borders…very long work !
