This is Amande (named for the almond-shaped buttons and what we called one of my high school best friends, Amanda, in French class). It's made from a single skein of Cascade Eco Wool and though the shape is pretty simple, the construction is somewhat unusual and it has a funky racerback cable in the back:
And pockets.
I remember now that we took these photos on the day I found out I was pregnant. Ah, so long ago! I wonder if I'll ever look this well-rested again...

Omigosh, that is so super cute! I can't believe you *forgot* about it! (Well, I guess you had bigger things on your mind, but still!) Too funny. :)
That vest looks really special!
It's beautiful! I love the back.
Love the vest. Hope you have it sized for those of us of larger proportions. I like vests because they are versatile.
I can't wait until this is available! It's such a spunky vest! Or as spunky as a vest could be, I suppose :)
I have to say that I really adore this vest. It is perfect, a simple but well shaped front and this surprising back.
This is gorgeous! Looking forward to the pattern coming out!
Looks like another lovely pattern :) I really like the funky cable bit.
Love the construction - this vest is so classy but yet inspiring. Beautiful work!
I hope you'll write this up for us? I wannnnnnt it! Or maybe you did put up a link and I need to read better :)
You certainly did look radiant on that day! No wonder! Nice vest pattern!
I know the feeling of "post pregnancy dummies". LOL. I feel like I still have them 9-months later, but not as bad.
Love the pattern and end project. It's very cool that you have this "just found out I'm pregnant" picture.
What a wonderfully special moment! I heart the vest too.
The vest really is cute. Think I will try it. Yes, you will feel rested again -- as soon as he graduates from college.
It looks great !
I love it and your boots!!
ha ha! Funny how a baby can drain you! There is so much that I don't remember!
The sweater is great, so fun and unusual in its styling.
Anonymous meant to leave her name on August 28th but forgot, so I am happy to re-iterate that I would love this book!

Anonymous also is as pleased as punch to see you on the day you discovered you were pregnant. Was that before or after the picture was taken? Either way you looked terrific. Chloe
This too shall pass, WAYYYYYY quicker than you think! ENJOY it all now while you can.
So beautiful! :) I'm such a big fan of your designs!
And for the well-rested thing, after having the baby... It's gonna be alright....in a few years!! ;) But it's such a great experience! :)
This morning, I was looking in my closet for something to wear and thought "I really need a vest. I wonder if I could find a knitted vest pattern that would suit me." And then I see this post. Serendipitous? I think so! Please write this up for us soon, please, please, pretty please!
I love the vest and that nice cabled back detail.
You look awesome and so happy!
The vest is a beauty!

Very cool. I really like those design elements.
Awww, this is awesome! Love it! And also love that you have a record of the day you found out you were preggers! I totally agree with you 100% though that you will never be that well rested again. I don't think I'll sleep good till I'm like 60 and even then I prolly wont :)
Love it! And the boots too.
