Thank you to all who gave me suggestions for finishing this project. It is wearable but not what I had anticipated. Learned a lot which was a bonus. Will definitely make a muslin first before I felt another garment. shadyrr.wordpress.com/2016/02/29/circle-vest/ for instructions and comments on changes I would make if I make another one,   |

I think it's cute Frances. But I understand when you have a vision of something and it doesn't turn out that way. :-)

So pleased you got it to work, Frances. I love how the back waist is pulled in, very nice shaping.

I love that circle vest (I made one with crochet ), I believe the colours will turn out better with a dark blue blouse ? (Forgive me my school English ).

Frances, I like your vest - lovely colours and texture. You have learned a lot from this experience. You can be proud, you can wear it!

Nice work, Frances. The vest creates a lovely effect, very graceful.

You fixed it up really well Frances, it fits you. What would you change about it?

Thank you all for the nice comments - if you look at the tutorial I posted on Wordpress I noted a couple of things I would do differently - one being make the collar out of only one layer of roving - the collar is made by placing roving about a third of the way down on one side of the resist.

Frances. I don't quite understand the collar.
It seems like you're creating a large pocket when you lay fibers on the other side of the resist.
Other knit circle vests that I've seen are just a full circle, with the upper side falling over naturally to create a collar.
I'm sure I'm missing something. The rest of your instructions were very clear.

When I have finished mine I will post it here too so we can learn from each other. |
