Janis's Soho Tweed Tunic
How do you decide what you will knit next? Sometimes I fall in love with a new pattern or yarn. Most often, after I buy new slacks I check my yarns and patterns to see what matches or coordinates with them. In January, I found inspiration at Nordstrom's in Columbus, Ohio with a great selection of tights by Hue. I loved the folk-printed tights below & I had the perfect yarn at home and a pattern I've wanted to knit for years.
The pattern is the Soho Tweed Cabled Oversized Vest, a free pattern from Tahki Stacy Charles, Inc.
I knew I wanted to show off these striking tights and that they would be so much fun to wear in the dreary winter. How true! I've only seen grass in my yard once since January, only snow, and more snow. The Soho Tweed in Hot Pink is a perfect match, along with the mock turtleneck in a blue violet shade that I found at Chico's to wear under the vest, which I converted to a tunic length.

The Soho Tweed in Hot Pink is a perfect match, along with the mock turtleneck in a blue violet shade that I found at Chico's to wear under the vest, which I converted to a tunic length.
It was easy to convert: I knitted the rib section, and then did the set-up rows for the cables. Then, instead of kntting only eight rows before making the first cable row, I knitted forty-four rows to achieve tunic length. I followed the pattern exactly for the remainder. The back and front are knitted alike until the front neck shaping. Also, since I was wearing another turtleneck under it, I made the turtleneck to only 4 inches instead of eight. If I knitted it again, I would probably knit it in the round up to the armholes, to eliminate the side seams, then separate front and back onto separate needles. Here is the finished result:
I enjoy planning an entire ensemble when I knit something. My necklace is from Chico's in Huntington, West Virginia. My Naot shoes are from my favorite shoe store, Unger's in Ironton, Ohio. I knitted a size Medium using 15 skeins of Tahki Yarns Soho Bulky Tweed, 50gram. I have five skeins of hot pink left which is enough to knit a matching cable bag, a free pattern from Vogue Knitting.
If you are interested in knitting this pattern, you may find it here: http://tahkistacycharles.com/t/pattern_single?m=&style=&yarn=&technique=&season=&year=&new=&format=free&products_id=1163 . See Vogue knitting for the Cabled Bag Pattern.
To knit the Vest as written takes 12 50 gram skeins for size Small & Medium, 14 skeins for Large. I have Soho Bulky Tweed on sale this month at just $4.99 per 50 gram skein: 5 skeins of hot pink, 8 skeins of grey, and 20 skeins of olive green (takes 15 skeins to knit the tunic length).

You can see from my smile that I'm happy with the result and I had fun making it. What fiber fun have you been up to this month? Please subscribe to my blog and comment below. All questions are welcome by email or phone. Happy Knitting! Janis P. Campbell.

Introduction to my new blog: Janis' Knitting & Fiber Fun Blog
Dear Knitting Friends and Fiber Lovers,
I'm starting the New year 2014 with my first Blog post ever! Over 2000 customers know me as the owner of Janis Campbell Knitting Studio. My shop is in my home in Russell, Kentucky. My customers and knitting friends come from all over the world.
I've met many of you at Fiber events like STITCHES (East, West and Midwest). Others I've met through your orders placed through Tahki Stacy Charles, Clover-USA, Knitting Fever, and Amazon (as Island Cottage books) . Some of you I know through Ravelry, and other fiber events in various places. Some of you found me by Google search for a yarn! My website is www.janiscampbellknitting.samsbiz.com
My adventures with fiber of all kinds began when my mother first let me play with the fabric scraps from her sewing. Oh did I adore her for giving me bits and pieces to play with. Soon I was creating doll clothes for my tiny little doll. It continued when my big sister taught me to crochet in the second grade. I learned to knit when my Fifth grade teacher involved our class in knitting bandages that the Red Cross sent to Africa. (This was decidedly not fun!)
I went on to involve myself in embroidery, sewing by hand and machine, crewel embroidery, weaving, quilting, etc. If it is fiber, I love it! I want to share my lifetime of fun with fiber with you, and hear about your's too. I'd like this to be the place where I show what I am knitting now and give you space to do the same. We can share our triumphs and work out our challenges with patterns, fitting, colors, and fibers. If it's made with fiber, we can explore it here!
Please follow me on this adventure. Happy Knitting!
Motto: A day without Fiber Fun is like a day without sunshine. Janis
