It's Not Friday

But, I've got a finish to share with you.  

Just in time for Norway, the Hello Friend Vest by Leslie Friend is finished and almost ready to go with me.  I just want to do a bit of steaming on both sides of it where I increased for the hips.

I knit it out of the recommended yarn, Onling #1, a new to me yarn that I ordered last Summer before any tariffs were in place.  I do like, on an occasion, to actually knit a design out of the yarn the designer used and after knitting the vest partially out of a yarn from PYS, and not being super happy with it, I decided to order the yarn from Onling.


I didn't realize what some of the yarn content was until I was well into the knitting of it. Merino Wool and Angora.  I have never ever used Angora, and this won't be the last time I buy some Onling yarn in the future, hopefully, when those nasty tariffs are gone.

I chose the navy as it is part of my color wardrobe for the cruise, that I am trying really hard to do a sort of staple wardrobe to pack.  Navy and blue jeans...


And as a side note, yesterday's post of mittens, were the leftovers of my vest yarn, so won't they be scrumptious to wear in Norway and this Winter?!!
