yarn-along Ginny Weasley's vest

~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading?~ Ginny

I finally found some time for knitting. And I can tell you it feels good. It was a quick project . it took only two days and I love it.

I named it Ginny Weasley's vest because I think it looks like something Molly would knit for her youngest.

like always - I didn't follow any pattern. I just made it up as I knitted.

started at the back (which is all orange with a little white on top and little purple at the bottom)

and I continued by knitting the two sides of the front at the same time)

at the end I added white edges (knitted at the bottom and crocheted at the rest of the vest)

and two turquoise buttons I had at home :)

I used needles too big for the yarn, so it is summer vest, it's 100% cotton and unique because I have absolutely no idea what I did (sorry, no pattern to share, but if you want a vest like this, just knit!)

- 1 skein (50grams) of orange yarn

-1 skein (50 grams) of rainbow yarn

-lil' bit of white cotton for the edges and the top

and here is a little GIVEAWAY! :)

I will be giving away this camera-strap slip cover

before you get too excited I have to tell you it's nothing professional - I'm not a sewing expert and I can hardly keep a straight line, but:

it features Amy Butler fabrics - Love collection

it was made with LOVE

it has little pocket (to keep spare memory cards etc. - it will NOT hold your lens-cover because it's too narrow)

it is 62cm (24.4 inches) long and 5 cm (2 inches) wide

(it fits my CANON camera strap, but if the winner needs wider/longer strap cover - I could make one more (with slightly different fabrics - but still LOVE by Amy Butler - and blue/green)

it has a little crocheted PEACE sign on one end

front is green with red-pink roses and violet flowers

back is dark blue with flower pattern

it is cotton and perfect for summer

made in smoke free and pet-free environment
