Vest Anyone?

Hi loves,

I know, yes, I'm aware I knit a lot of her patterns, but when the opportunity came to test knit yet another of Petra Breakstone's patterns, I just could not say no.  This time it was for her Karina Vest/Cardigan.  I had the option to do either a long or short vest and then convert it into a cardigan.  The choice was made to do the short vest.

Count me in I said, a few days pass before my start date was decided and the checklist completed.


  • Ravelry project page created ✅
  • Yarn decided ✅
  • gauge swatch completed ✅
  • cast on ✅
  • enjoying this simple knit ✅
Upon completing my project, here comes the task of getting a "good pic".  I tried to get my not-so-willing model to give me a pic, but of course, this was no fun to her so posing was an issue.

Even with a back turn, one can see the unwillingness.

don't mind that loose thread.

trying to get a close-up.

still not interested in taking a pic for me.

With no "good pic," I decided to try other models (lol)......

She wasn't even willing to be the photographer (guess I was stopping her from doing more important stuff)

Me trying a thing.

tried laying it flat.
now isn't this a shame... "heng pan nail" one my say...


Feeling defeated as I was yet to get a proper pic, I pushed my finished work aside until I got what I really wanted, my very own mannequin.... 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁


No talk truth...  Just look at this... What a difference???

  1. Lol. Why was she so unwilling? She looks stunning it, as do you. I came across your pics of this and followed it to the pattern page and I love it! Have to see what I have in my stash to make it.
