Absolutely gorgeous. I want to make it NOW! Vest, shawl collar, great stitch pattern--what more could a girl want.

I love it:) I need this pattern!!

Love, love LOVE this!

Can't wait 'til it's available!

I LOVE this pattern! As soon as it comes out, it is going to the top of my list. The color is perfect too. You don't need a lot of colorwork - your patterns speak for themselves!

This is absolutely beautiful. At first I thought it needed a closure -- but I've changed my mind. It's perfect just as it is!!

This is lovely gracefull vest! I love your club for the cables and and lace! It is why I joined, so keep up the beautiful designs. I enjoy the colors you choose, as they allow all your fans to try other colors. Sometimes it is the color that sells a design, and doesn't let you really see the pattern so much as the color. Your designs never do that, are lovely, and can be done in any color to look good. Color work is fun and beautiful too, but fairisle type styles tend to have added bulk. Your designs are lacy and so feminine, so to me unique! They also work up fairly quickly, use lovely soft lofty yarn, so there is hope to finish a garment in good time. Thanks for all your hard work!

I love the vest, it can be worn with a skirt or dress pants or with a pair of jeans. I like it best with the pin but like that it can be worn many ways. Just not sure what color to knit it in

I think everything about this pattern is perfect. The color is very rich and sophisticated.

It's absolutely beautiful. The color is striking. I prefer solid colors as well my favorites are the "blues". I also think that this would be great with sleeves as a jacket.
I'm looking forward to purchasing this pattern.

This would look great with some skinny jeans! :)

Yummy! I'm a plus-size lady and really hope this is available in larger sizes as I think it would be totally wearable for me. Love the green also, but I'd probably do it in purple, my personal fav.

I really love this pattern; it is so versatile. You could wear one in color over a black short skirt and a thin black sweater with black boots or tights and high heels. A white summer version would look great over something long and flowing or as a night piece over a little summer dress with strappy sandals. This is one pattern that I will definitely be getting.

I love this vest! I'll most likely knit two, one for work and one for not-at-work. Work is very conservative, so even though I love the bright green, I'd have to use gray yarn. Black trousers, a nice blouse, and the vest with an elegant pin. I don't think anyone would complain about the lack of a jacket.
For home wear... the possibilities are endless. I'm thinking burgundy or dark green. It would look great with jeans, a black turtleneck, and combat boots. Or I could really goth it up with a long velvet skirt, a black blouse, vest held in place with a more ornate pin... it's one of those pieces that can be styled many different ways.

This vest is lovely! I would wear this garment with a turtle neck match colour; a shawl pin; long trouser folded just under knees; with long boots! This vest is very versatile... could look lovely with a "A" line skirt at knee length with a large belt over the vest... That's lovely!

Absolutely Beautiful! Can't wait for the pattern.

So Beautiful! It's next on the list to knit. Where can I get that sweater pin?!

I love this vest so much I had to write twice. I can't wait for the pattern to come out! I hope so much that it will be in plus sizes (3X). It is so perfect and so beautiful I will be heartbroken if I'm left out because I'm well, let's say, "ample"! There are so few patterns that accommodate my body type which is "apple" (vs "pear"). I carry most of my weight from the tummy up and my most flattering style top has got to be long, otherwise it hits me in my largest part and I look, quite frankly, much like "Humpty Dumpty" (shapewise)LOL. So, when I saw this, it was as if you had designed it just for me. The color is gorgeous too! I love greens of just about any shade! I'm checking my email all the time, just waiting for the news that I can get this perfectly gorgeous vest. It will be a major challenge for me knitting-wise, but I'm going to join the Club when it comes out so I can get plenty of help. WOW, what an amazing talent you are, Sweaterbabe!! BRAVO!!

Love this vest...cannot wait until it is available. I have done cables before, but seemed to shy away from them....looks like now I am going to have to dig right in. I want this pattern!!!! Absolutely beautiful!!!!

Almost... off to the tech editor right now. Knitting Club members will receive it early next month and then it will be available for purchase to all early/mid-April. I'll definitely update this blog post and annouce through the newsletter.

Thanks for your patience! 7 sizes can take awhile to write up (in additon to me parenting 3 little kids and only being able to work at this part-time!). So, thanks for your understanding too!

This vest is just perfect! I love it and can't wait to make it....please let us know the minute it is available!!

Gorgeous! I just finished my lace inset vest, and I love it. I so want another one, and I love the green.

I bought this pattern and love it. But I live in the South, and wonder if anyone has tried it in a linen or cotton yarn? I know I would get more use out of a lighter weight fabric.

Please let me know if you're looking for a article author for your weblog. You have some really great articles and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd absolutely love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an e-mail if interested. Regards!
