Two more Schemer Slipovers

 

I never thought I was much of a vest person but perhaps I am? I've made 3 of these: https://ravel.me/schemer-slipover now and I'd love to make more. Comfy to wear, fits nicely, enough interest but still tv knitting. 

The charcoal is more Berroco Vintage and the Blue is Cascade 220 Superwash (which isn't 220, but oh well). Both came from So Original in Columbia Maryland. 

I think I shortened something on the charcoal one but I did get it out of 3 skeins. I ran a bunch short on the blue even though I shortened things on it, too. The proprietor ordered more of the blue for me and I was ever so grateful. 

First project in AGES: Schemer Slipover

  

This is the Schemer Slipover by Apella Knits. It's knitted from 3 skeins (with none left over) of Berroco Vintage which is an acrylic-wool-nylon blend. It's pretty soft and easy to work with. I got the yarn from Sweet Pea Fiber which is located inside Three Birds Fabric in Hyattsville, MD. They have a fairly small selection but there's some nice stuff.

The pattern is pretty easy. I've done a bunch of short row shaping for sock heels but this seemed a little different. It worked ok and didn't leave holes. I definitely want to make another.
