Noro short vest using Schaefer Yarns

Using Elaine from Schaefer Yarns...
http://www.schaeferyarn.com/yrn_elaine.html

The yarn is great to work with, the colors are rich and vibrant.

I used a Noro short vest pattern with Schaefer Yarns. This vest looks great with a long white button down shirt.


I'm knitting another Noro vest using Noro sock yarn. I still have the back to complete, but living in Austin, I'm starting to use lighter yarns for projects...not many freezing cold days here...

I'm Back...

Moving, working and more work has brought my blogging almost to a complete halt...but do not fear, my knitting has been going strong. (I need something else to do beside being on a computer). Yes I have many projects finished, I just need to shoot a few photos and get them up here. I am excited though, I did find a great yarn shop in Austin:
