Cable Vest (#17) by Twinkle Wenlan Chia from Vogue Knitting, Holiday 2004

Another Finished Object: Cable Vest (#17) by Twinkle/Wenlan Chia from Vogue Knitting magazine, Holiday 2004 issue.
I used 5 skeins (500 gr) of Harmony Ironstone Yarns. It's a bulky yarn but I still knit with 2 strands together and my gauge/tension was 9 sts / 4". I used 12 mm Pony circular needles and I cast on 14 sts instead of 12 sts. For the front collar I made one extra cable pattern repeat. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out. It was a fast knitting, only 3 days.

I love this vest. I think mostly because it has a very unique shape, looks like braids. The Harmony yarns, are very wearable, not itchy! Very nice share, Thank you!
