Yep! I already finished my Brussels Lace Camisole. Well, actually, know it’s more of a Brussels Lace Vest. I just really thought that I wouldn’t be able to wear it with the slit neck they show. Plus it looks pretty cute as a vest. I had the EXACT amount of yarn that I needed! Wow! Lucky!
Here's the front.
And this is the back. I knit the front and the back exactly the same.
I wore it with my new, super dark skinny jeans. I thought that they looked especially good with this. The jeans are such a clean cut style that they offset the fuzziness of the vest.
I’ve already begun (and half way finished) another project! I started the little accessories bag in Handknit Holidays — the Counterpane Accessories Bag by Carrie Brenner to be exact. I love the cute scallop pattern! I think I may finish the other side tonight (it’s such a quick knit) and the finishing tomorrow. Here’s the first side:
It's actually a much darker shade of blue, but here's one side.
Once again I used my stash instead of what they call for (it calls for La Lana Wools Bombyx Silk, which is too expensive for me and I definitely don’t have lying around! Although I wish to try it — someday). Instead I used up some royal blue Shine Sport from Knit Picks! I think it looks really good in such an intricate pattern, and it’s really soft and fun to knit with! The only problem is it splits a little more than some other yarns, but really hard at all.
My brother’s website is celebrating it’s second birthday today…if you’d like to visit, here’s the link! I also found another cool website! It’s called Carbonrally and it’s to stop global warming! It’s pretty fun! Woo!

Love the scallop-ey detail of the bag, good choice of yarn.

The vest is lovely, I like the way the fornt and back are the same so the back piece falls low. It also means you won’t get half way through the day and realise you’ve put it on the wrong way round!
