Rasta, Rasta, Rasta. What can I say about you?

The final design in the Harvest eBook was knit with Rasta. Rasta is an amazing super bulky rovingesque yarn in the most beautiful color palette. I love knitting with bulky and super bulky yarns, because at the end of the day, I am a project knitter. I love an end result. I love completing things. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and finality that is lacking in my professional life otherwise. The bigger the yarn, the sooner the accomplishment and sometimes that kind of instant gratification just feels good.

The Autumnal Vest was such a fun knit. I wanted to create a super bulky garment that did not feel super bulky, so off with the arms and on with a vest. I also wanted a longer style and cut away, so that all that big fabric did not just hover around the hips. I also decided to add a leaf motif up the fronts extending around the back of the neck. Voila.
