I posted earlier this morning and the server lost it! I will attempt to recreate it, but a bit of my mojo is gone!
The project I wanted to share is one I was introduced to last summer at Meg Swansen’s Knitters Camp. I met the lovely, and very talented, Cheryl Oberle. You may know her from her book, Folk Vests, and a number of other publications. She wore one of her new designs, a vest called Nazo. It was knit from her own yarn, called Dancing Colors, in a gorgeous red->purple combination. Though sportweight, she knit it quite loosely at 5 sts/inch, which gave it a light, airy feel. I tried it on, loved it, and bought her yarn for the project.
I started out with a lot of enthusiasm, which unfortunately waned (that never happens 😉 ). Last fall I was between projects, and picked it up again.
Here is my Nazo Vest:
I used a twisted cord to tie the fronts together and added a knitted band at the bottom. Other than that, I made very few modifications. It is a nice addition to my work wardrobe. Thanks, Cheryl!!
It looks great!

Susan! I was at a trunk show today and one of the knitters there told me you had posted your Nazo. Thank you for all the kind words. I’ll be beaming all week! Your Nazo is beautifully knit. Congratulations on getting it done. You will look fabulous in it.
