{Yarn Along}



I so enjoyed knitting up a Pickles Plain vest for Seraphina I made one for Nola too and have already cast on another for Matilda by enlarging the pattern. It is a lovely quick, satisfying knit with a lovely garter stitched yoke. Perfect for those breezier Autumn days.
The pattern was simple. I was only flummoxed once when trying to work out what kind of technique I should use for making the sleeve stitches. In the end I was able to figure it out pretty quickly.

I'm currently reading Kaleidoscope City - a Year in Varanasi by Piers Moor Ede.
I have only just started it but his descriptions of  the city have already immersed me in the sights, sounds and smells of this extraordinary place.

    This vest is so, so beautiful. I love the color and the style of it, the whole thing is lovely. I would really like to find a pattern to make a crocheted version for my daughter.
