Original Pattern: Que Sera
Knitter Extraordinaire: Elspeth (Rav Id, Blog)
Mods: Turned the original cardigan pattern into a pullover vest, with a deeper scoop neckline. Project page is here.
What Makes This Awesome: This fantastic vest was borne out of that classic knitter's problem- running out of yarn. Elspeth actually planned on knitting the cardigan as a pullover. She had knitted the sleeves (and even made sleeve mods) before she realized that she wouldn't have enough yarn to finish it. So she frogged the sleeves, and completed the cardigan-turned-pullover-turned-vest. Talk about turning lemons into lemonade! Doesn't she look amazing?! I love this vest, I love this outfit. I want to go shopping in Elspeth's closet.

Another great find! Her boots are to die for.
yay, more beth! i loved how this came out too, and yeah, those boots are amazing.
What a brilliant idea! It's win-win...no frogging necessary, the yarn was used up, and she has an adorable new vest! And yes, I love the entire outfit. Those boots, omg.
Oh, the great game of yarn chicken. I have played oh so many times. I'm very glad to see her wonderful results! It's a great mod.
This is a super cute vest! p.s. I love the boots. :)
