The pattern name is The Peacock's Best Vest, so you are right on target! 💜

The Peacock's Best Vest by the late, great Diane Zangl. Still available through SWDT, as far as I know.

I've gotten good at combining those oddball skeins, but still.

Did you train your family what yarns to buy? How? I always ask for gift certificates because, no matter how well intentioned, gift yarns can be hit or miss. I either get something I never can use (say, rough cotton), or a single skein of something scrumptious, not enough to do anything with. 😆

I love this cast on too! So stretchy and lays nicely too.

These needles are amazing! I've been using them for ages. I just convinced my LYS to stock them and she has put in an order. Given that we are in the US, I hope the order comes through. Great needles, outstanding community commitment!

That just took my breath away. Stunning!
