Skillfully Wrought: Pink Blossoms Vest

Skillfully Wrought

Psalm 139:15 says, "My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."(NKJV) The phrase "skillfully wrought" means "(1)to variegate, mix colours, (b)to be skilfully wrought or woven". It amazes and humbles me to know that God used such creativity to fashion each us! Not only that, but because we were created in His image we have been given that same desire and ability to be creative! What a gift!

Notes: Cast on 96 stitches using German Twisted cast on. Knit 13 rows in garter stitch. Begin knitting in stockinette, keeping first and last 5 stitches as garter border. Knit until piece measures 9.5 inches. Then on next right side row knit 20 st, bind of 10 st, knit 36 st, bind off 10 st, knit 20 st. I used this method for beginning the bind off and will use this method for the end of the bind off.

Cast on 22 stitches for each arm. Knit 2 stitches together at the beginning and end of armhole.

Used this site for determining decreases. Decreased 10 stitches on last decrease row instead of 8. Create buttonhole for this row by K1, K2tog, YO, K2tog, continue on with decreases as specified on above site.

About Me

Name: Leah

Location: Hammond, New York, United States

My husband, Scott, and I have been married for 12 years. We have five precious children so far, 3 sons and 2 daughters here on earth! We are praying for many more baby blessings! My husband works with his parents on our organic dairy farm. We also raise many other farm animals and grow most of our own food. I began teaching myself to knit in August of 2007. I started with dishcloths and quickly moved on to more challenging projects. I hope to learn how to spin very soon! In mid-November of 2010 I opened an Etsy shop to sell knitting and fiber arts supplies. I'm excited to see what the future holds!
