A slightly fitted vest knit in one piece from the bottom up with armbands and collar picked up.
I had several awesome great-aunts with cool names – this is the first of several vests I have named in their honor. My Aunt (pronounced ‘Ahnt’) Aileen was one of my favorite people. She raised beef cattle on a farm and lived in a beautiful, unusual, rambling, understatedly grand old house that fascinated me as a child. You are probably picturing a rough and ready, weathered, mannish woman, but she was attractive, petite, stylish, and well-educated. She was my grandmother’s closest sister (there were six girls in the family). The older I get, the more I realize just how amazing she was. By far the coolest octogenarian I’ve ever known. I hope I’m fortunate enough to be even a little bit like her when I’m 80.
Note: Front flaps have been raised about an inch and a half from the sample shown.
