Modern Vespa

Vespa Scooter Cardigan Jacket Knitting Pattern

My wife knits.

A lot.

I knit but nothing that cool. I would love one of those sweaters!

Some yarn shops have lists of people who will knit a pattern for folks who are knitting challenged (that would be me though back in middle school I did once knit a sweater that was wearable - doubt I could do so again.)

Surely that's a Buddy

Oops.. Someone bought it... 😉

I bought that pattern for my wife - she is a knitter (but has not made it for me yet) here is her blog (if you are interested in knitting): http://www.makexdo.com/

Me too

I'm a member of ravelry, but I'm not there for the knitting (or really any of the other fiber-related pursuits).

I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what the photographer was thinking when s/he said, "Hold that pose!"

Mrs. Gbaby (aka Tina), an actual famous knitter who has been on TV and in books and on Ravelry for her knitting and designs, would certainly like to see that, but I'm not going to show it to her on the off chance she might decide to make one for me, if you know what I mean.

I do.

I have been crocheting since college, but have mostly given it up as my eyesight gets, well, old.

well i never.....

Something about that male model just shouts "MOPED!"

Hey, maybe you could show her, request cotton yarn and then send it to me. 👍 I would wear the heck out of this sweater!

Why does the picture of the girls' sweater remind me of a bull fighter riding a scooter? I'll pass and wouldn't sport that knit. It is cool they got scooters on them...

Toreador Pants!

How about artist Shauna Richardson's hand crocheted lions.

Truly, umm, interesting... My wife knits so she won't be seeing this post either. But she did do a lovely crosstitch of a vespa on our car ride back from Amerivespa.

Nope, and i made sure I didn't marry the stereotypic knitter.

They are so cheesy. I want.

Yeah, I kinda go that way too!

I will pay good money for that in my size, but my scooter color and my hair. No Kung fu bullfighter. I'm small; it won't take as much thread.

I'm on Ravelry as well. Okay...yeah...i'm a knitter.

Man I will say this again. This site is creepy scary. Its like we are all the same people. We all drive Vespas, all drive Fiats, and all our wives knit.

Ms Sparky my wife is on Ravelry too. You probably talk with her. She knits, spins, dyes fiber and yarns.

I wonder what other things we are all alike in?

Unger yarns fashion book, 1966.
Got it this weekend - it was free, on the condition that I take the rest of the stack of knitting booklets out of the house as well...

Actually, I have to show it to her now. You have first dibs on anything that results.

She's a real artist; she even came up with a cool way to knit your own boots and knit your own skunk.

Motorcycling is to scootering as sewing is to knitting.

How cool! I knit but I suck at it. So far just lots of boring flat scarves. Lol.

My Vespa is red... Just in case 😉

Scarves are one of the few knit things that I really appreciate. Boring? No. Just under-appreciated.

Good news - my wife is starting the sweater for me, I just picked out the colors. I will post progress here - and she will put it on Ravelry ( heyjenrenee is her username )

never been in nsm then

I like the retro look of the garments.
Though,,,they were not retro when originally packaged

well I am your simple non involved scarf go to knitter... Lol
