Twist Collective Summer 2009!

The Summer 2009 issue of Twist Collectivejust went live, and it contains my first men's pattern, a sleeveless vest which the TC staff creatively named Laredo.  (My name for it was "Twisted Diamond Men's Vest," not nearly as catchy!)  I'm planning to do a blog post about the design process for Laredo, but in the meantime, here's a photo of me modeling it-- not bad, secondo me!  The yarn,Valley Yarns Goshen, is a cotton/modal/silk blend, which makes the vest wearable just about all-year-round. I'm really looking forward to getting the sample back so I can wear it myself (it's a little too small for the husband anyway).  Unfortunately I don't think I'll be getting it back this summer, because I think it would look great over a tank top or T-shirt and white bermuda shorts....
