    Cabled Sleeveless Pullover

    I knitted this for my husband's Christmas present. I made it shorter than usual, to go with his kilts.

    The armholes are very deep, making this more like a tabard than a waistcoat.

    It is so hard to take photos inside a house, especially with the dog so nosy. She kept running up and trying to pose with my husband.

    Extremely nice, I like sweater vests. That would look so wonderful in a burgundy or a nice earth tone spruce. Excellent job there.

    Spruce? If I make one in spruce, it's going to be for meeeeeee!

    I got the pattern from Desert Rose Designs, then I made changes to give it a bit more texture. All my project notes are on Ravelry.

    Okay, the vest is great, but (forgive me!) I really like the hose. Did you knit those also? If so, you might have yet another young man begging your favor!

    I do like the vest, but those hose are remarkable! Does your husband know how lucky he is, or do you have to remind him from time to time?
