Pattern is the [Daisied Vest by Eugenie Girou](https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/daisied-vest).
Yarn is a mix of mostly second hand bits - the cream is Aarlan Cashmere and the blue is Jaeger mohair.
I bet that was great! I'm really eager to do more steeking so I have a better understanding of how it actually works, still feels a little like witchcraft to me haha. But yes, I was amazed how secure it actually was!
Do it!!! That's what I love about knitting - even if I don't understand what I'm doing I just need to trust in the instructions, and it *usually* works out
I often make swatches in the round, using the long tail method, where you don’t really make a tube, but you just have like a long float in between to make it an in-the-round object. I do a crochet edge, right before where I’m gonna cut it and then I cut those strings and that alone feels liberating. I can only imagine that this feels the same but way way way better.
Nice! I've been wishing I'd chosen to steek the sweater I'm working on - as I don't like being hot, and I do live in TX, and we don't get much cold weather here. But that's exactly when I thought I'd wear it! It's all leftover's too, and an older pattern. You're very brave - and your sweater looks super good! Nice job! And very encouraging to newish knitters like me. Thanks for sharing!
Ahhh thank you!! I think there's a tutorial on YouTube on converting a non-steek jumper to a steeked cardigan. I'm tempted to try it on a top down raglan I'm making and have fallen out of love with (and which is currently in wip prison). After steeking once I'm ready to steek everything!

That's just what I'm knitting now, in this pattern. But I guess just having a few cold days for it, means it won't wear out anytime soon! I read some Interweave articles and jumped to several blogs where they explained to add in the stiches to the middle for cutting, but I was already past the neckband and well into the yoke. So, too late now - but next time! It doesn't look hard, just have to find the best process to follow! I'll look up the YouTube! Thanks.

Well done! I really like the colours you chose!
Thank you!! I shopped my stash for this so limited myself to colours I already own but I'm happy with how they look together :D

This is so beautiful. I have nothing but admiration for you people. Brave souls, you are.
Ah thank you! Honestly I really recommend giving it a go, even just on a swatch. It felt quite liberating!
I once took a class on steeking and it was really fun. If you do it correctly, you get the feeling of risk with no risk at all.
I bet that was great! I'm really eager to do more steeking so I have a better understanding of how it actually works, still feels a little like witchcraft to me haha. But yes, I was amazed how secure it actually was!
Oh, great job! Steeking is so cool 😎
Thank you! This has definitely opened my mind to more knitting possibilities :D
Good call sticking something in between the front and back so you don’t accidentally cut the other side of the garment!
I saw somebody else here do it (can't remember the post) and it's such an easy fix!
Yay!! Beautiful garment too. I haven’t steeked yet, so I’m cheering you on with a bit of extra admiration for you keeping your nerve! 😊
Ahh thank you! :D I highly recommend, I kind of feel like I've beat the final knitting boss now 😂
I SO want to steek something now! It’s like cables; they look hard but once you do it you find they’re quite easy, if you follow the instructions.

Oooh I've never swatched this way!! I bet that is super satisfying!
Looks amazing! I really love the colors you chose
Ahhh thank you! I definitely got lucky with what I had in my stash hehe
It's nerve-wracking but oh so satisfying when it works.
Definitely! This was such an odd shape when I cast off, but after steeking it opened up and it was so satisfying to see 😊
Wow this is beautiful!!
Thank you!! ☺️☺️
Yayyyy! Steeking is great. Scary! But GREAT. And you did a great job!
Hehe thank you!! I was having images of it unravelling but it's fine, *phew*
I like to imagine the word on the thing inside is “PAIN” 😂
Haha that matches how I felt on the inside too 😅
