Vestvember yarn

Vestvember yarn by (afm).
Hm - this pic really doesn't capture the colors at ALL, especially the purple. Anyway, this is Colinette Jitterbug in Vincent's Apron (the yellow) and Velvet Bilberry (which is actually a very bright, royal purple). The idea is to knit a fitted v-neck vest with corrugated-ribbed trim in the purple. But now I'm not sure I want to do that. I'm feeling a tad shy now that the yarn's right in front of me. I'm going to whip up a swatch and see how I feel. (Literally - I'm being slowed down this Vestvember by a cranky right shoulder/arm, very annoying.)

I can't wait to see these colors knitted up together! I know just how painful knitting with a bum shoulder can be, I hope yours feels better soon!

BOO on that pain. These colors look gorgeous, and I think a vest in jitterbug will be fantastic. Tell your stinking arm/shoulder to get in line!

I can't wait to see this. I'm sorry you've been having shoulder/arm issues though. And ever since you made that comment on my pic, I've been trying to imagine a good name for the color combo. I'm not even going to type what I've come up with because they're AWFUL. Ball's in your court.

@Anne- I don't know how I missed your reply comment until now, but yes, I like prellow. Yurple just sounds like a disease.

@Mai- um, I'm sorry but ARE YOU DEMENTED? You're rooting for Favre? I broke up with him this summer. Drew Brees is the new Brett Favre.
