I’m a bit restless with knitting the Vogue sweater. I am about halfway finished with the sleeves and the back. There are long stretches of stockinette stitch yet to do. So to break things up a bit, I’ve cast on a new project using Berroco Remix yarn.
I picked up three skeins of this yarn while in Madison during March. Made from 100% recycled fibers, it is a blend of nylon, cotton, acrylic, silk and linen.
While perusing Ravelry, I spotted this pattern by Anna Schei which will be perfect for my intended use.

This vest will be for my granddaughter. She is not quite three and very interested in dressing herself. The sprightly mosaic stitch pattern reminds me of her crazy-happy personality.
One small concern: The pattern is written in Norwegian. Fortunately, the color chart transcends language limitations and it is all I really needed from the original pattern. I will be adapting it to include a button-up front. My little one needs to practice her buttoning skills.
And here is my swatch.
This stitch is pretty fun to work and to admire!
Okay, back to my needles.

Cool. Cindy enjoys knitting too and tells me that the Russians, Japanese, and Bolivians (or Peruvians?) all have some of the most challenging stitches to try and work out.

Hi Laura Kate, I love the basketweave interpretation running through your design. Also that you have found 100% recycled yarn to use for your project.
I have a new student blog now. If you want to go on the homepage of the old blog you will find the address.

This makes me think of slipped stitch designs as found in Barbara Walker’s books – fun to do and easy. Looking forward to seeing the final sweater.

Reminds me of lots of space needle buildings 😀

I have no idea how you change colors in one long piece. But no matter — that looks like it would be fun to make and fun to wear!

That is going to be a sweet pattern for your granddaughter. Don’t overlook google translate for some things. I have found it to be increasingly more accurate. Not sure if it speaks knitting, though!

Yes, I use Google translate. But I discovered that it will not work on a .pdf file, which is what the pattern is published in.
