Jenny and Nicole of the fabulous Stash and Burn podcast have put out a challenge to their listeners: Vestuary. Make a vest in February. I'm a big fan of vest-type items, so I thought I'd share some of my favorite patterns. And for those who aren't up to knitting a vest this month...I've included a few great-looking ones you can buy.
Sue of eco-tricot created this lovely ribwarmer. This pattern, created by the legendary Elizabeth Zimmerman, goes back to 1956. It looks modern and fresh here, doesn't it? I see wearing something like this on Saturday mornings over a cream cable-knit cowl-neck sweater and with very dark jeans and high black boots.
This Free People fair isle vest could fit a similar place in your wardrobe. It's available at Revolve Clothing for $122.
The sassy Diva Tunic would look awesome if you are one of those people who look great in leggings. This one was created by Krista of Knitting Jedi.

If you want to go cozy, long and cabled try Wenlan Chia's Bar Harbor Vest. I love the blue color shown here. I could do without the pockets, though. Who needs a horizontal line in the middle of your thighs?
Not in the mood to pick up the pointy sticks? Pick up this Joie Long Chunky Sweater vest at Bloomingdales, on sale for $208.80. I am still not so much a fan of the horizontal pocket...but it's cute. And it's not a Snuggie.

Thanks for including me in your piece about vests, although, of course EZ is the real star here.
The ribwarmer is such a timeless classic - great fun to knit too.
