i need to do more freeform knitting next year. i followed a lot of patterns this year. that's fun too, but in a different way. my favorite free-form knitter is jane thornley. see her recent blog posts about knitting in italy and my favorite - autumn inspired knitting. this vest is my version of the painter's vest. i am very happy with how it turned out but would also like to do a longer one.

the little red riding hood cape (see my post Nov 1) that i knit for halloween was thornley inspired - but i created the pattern as i went - which i guess is thornleyesque too. if you are on ravelry, check out the jane thornley group, in which jane herself is active.

audin malmin took this photo last summer. click the photo to go to flickr and see a photo of the front.
