Butterfly
When I first saw the butterfly vest on Rowan 37, I fell in love with it instantly. I have attempted to knit it a few time but it never last longer that one repeat pattern..because of the fine yarn. I decided to start again last month..and determine to finish it this time..and I did. I'm so please with the result except the length of the vest, I shouldn't have extended the length. I thought it would be nice if it longer, but turn out the bottom lace border can't be seen because it is very difficult to find a camisole in that length.
As I mention before the most difficult part of the vest is the handling of the Kidsilk Haze, this yarn is extremely fine, you can't make any mistake and redo it..I guess is a matter of getting use to it. After the first panel, I basically fly through the second panel within two days.. and honestly I love the soft effect that produce by the yarn, you just have to be very very patient working with Rowan Kidsilk Haze. oh..and if you choose a light shade of Kidsilk Haze make sure you have a really good eye sight, I did tried on lighter shade and is just insanely difficult to see.

It looks amazing! Great job. I have never used KSH. Everyone always says how hard it is to knit with KSH, especially if you need to frog it, but the final product always looks beautiful.

That's quite pretty. KSH is difficult to work with, especially with your first time. It gets easier! You could wear it over a dress as well.

That looks great on you. The yarn must have incredible yardage if it only took you 2 balls. Beautiful swirly things on the side of your picture too!
