When You're a Jet You're a Jet

One of these days I'll be "rounding up" my 2008 FO's. Just as soon as I track them all down, photograph and detail them that is! I've started and completed only one item in 2009 so far, my huggable shrug (details to come soon, I swear). So I was pretty happy to get started on another project, the Vine Lace Vest that both Jacquie & Lisa have knit with lovely results (Lisa doesn't seem too impressed with hers but I thought it was pretty nice!).

So far I've completed a couple inches of 4x4 ribbing on the back and I'm really digging the results.The yarn is the same one that Jacquie used for hers, FibraNatura Mermaid, although hers was Turkish Tile and mine is Jet Black. It has a great depth of colour colour and a slightly unusual mixture of fibres: 42% Cotton / 35% Superwash Merino / 12% Silk / 11 Seacell. I'm really hoping that this will be a great wearable item for me when it is done, since I often have trouble with full-on woolly sweaters being too warm. I'm counting on the Cotton & Seacell content of this fibre to keep me snug but not overheat me!
