Special Events and Trunk Shows

Cheryl Oberle's FOLK VESTS provided us for the inspiration for our own TRUNK SHOW

Abby has been telling people they NEED this book for years, and finally was persuaded by Katie to bring the vests she herself has knit from this book and prove why this book belongs on everyone's shelf. They will be hanging for a month or so, except for the Kasai which has to go home for Easter. So come on in and take a look at what you can do with one book, some good yarn, and a little imagination.

Abby knit these vests over a number of years, and says she still has a few left to knit from the book. The Kasai vest was made from Jamieson's DK for a friend, and the Clock Vest was made from Arancania's Nature wool. The Red Chinese Vest was knit from Rauma Strikkegarn, while the Bookworm Vest came from odd scraps of DK weight yarn.
