I started this vintage-style vest, from Erika Knight's lovely Classic Knits book, about 3 years ago (....), but only returned to it over Christmas just now -- there are always so many other things on. But I'm very pleased that I did. I knitted it in Debbie Bliss' 100% silk yarn in a pearly-grey colour, which is very scrumptious, and left out the cabling detail (the yarn is so beautiful that I think it works better when very simple). It's really snug, soft and comfortable to wear, and the fit is surprisingly perfect. Although it's not a knit that everyone will see, it feels very nicely indulgent to wear this as underwear, more particularly at this time of year when indulgence is frowned upon.
