Three projects at different stages.
Firstly, I completed my Sille Slipover during the week....
(I think the use of the word 'vest' confuses some
as what we know as a singlet is called a vest in Britain)
I knitted it slightly longer than the pattern suggests
because I like my lower back covered.
My "Violet Crumble" quilt is at the binding stage,
which I will hand stitch to the back this week,
while I'm on another short road trip.
I will get some glamour shots while I am away!
I am also planning my next quilt...
an 'all solids' pattern by Tara Faughnan
See you next week!

Wow, that vest/sleeveless sweater is gorgeous and is a perfect fit! It can be hard to get such a good fit. Congrats, I hope you enjoy wearing it for many years!
Such a nice slipover (vest)! It attractive, practical, and you definitely made the right move, knitting it a little longer. Pretty colors in your "Violet Crumble," and bringing it to a finish while traveling is great for taking glamour shots! I'm glad you have a quilt-holder to help you out. That's always a struggle for me. I'm fascinated by the new quilt you'll be make. You're using only solids?! That's a bit different for you, isn't it? Those colors are yummy together.
Well done with both projects. Enjoy your time away & hope the weather plays nicely. Take care & hugs.
I like tops with longer below-the-waist lengths too. That next pattern looks like a real challenge of tiny pieces to me.
I am always impressed with your knitting, as you choose such beautifully complex designs that I love. So keep them coming--I love them! Congrats on finishing the piecing and quilting on the new top. Since I'm going backwards, I've seen the finished project, but have to give a "two-thumbs-up" to the striped binding. Such a great choice. And Wow! to the Tara Faughnan new project. It will be fun to watch.
Love your knitted vest! It looks fabulous on you. Ooh.... love the look of your new quilt you're imagining.
