I'm adventuring further than I ought 😂 I'm vestifying a sweater pattern that is a recreation of a fair isle jumper Paul McCartney wore in this famous photo.

It's a vest-modified version of a recreation of a colorwork sweater Paul McCartney wore 😂 kind of ambitious for me, I know! (if you google Paul McCartney fair isle sweater you'll see the famous picture of him with his coffee cup).

Thank you so much, I tried so hard on the outfit!! Not featured are the lovely elbow patches on the jacket!

Thank you, I'm TERRIBLE at remembering to put this in my posts!! It's called "The Office Vest" by Lisa Carnahan and I knit it up in Plymouth's Galway yarn. I modified the armbands and collar to use a twisted rib and tubular bind off. 😊

When I'm explaining cables to newer knitters I say "cables are exactly what they look like. If it looks like you're twisting two stitches to the right, you're literally doing that." 😂 I suppose it makes sense that it's the same in crochet but also all crochet is witchcraft to me.

As a non-crocheter, crochet cables blow my mind! 🤯

Thank you! (I'm so excited because it's looking like it's going to fit perfectly too! Knock on wood)

I decided I'm making four vests this year and started with this one ("The Office" vest) as an easier pattern to start with! You just gotta find a pattern and dive in!
