This sweater vest was languishing half done for about two years for various reasons. I pulled it out of storage and completed it in August (just not in time to enter it in the Armada Fair competition). I'm happy with how it turned out and looking forward to wearing it this Fall.
The pattern is Holiday Slipover by PetiteKnit. I knit it on big needles holding two strands of worsted yarn together with one strand of lace weight silky mohair.

For me, 2020 was not a year for finishing a large number of knit projects.
I did however finish my first ever sweater for myself! I started some new projects and revisited some old projects, which are all still in progress 😊. I tried hand dyeing yarn and really enjoyed the process and the result.
Here is a look at my finished projects of 2020.
