Tove, who runs the store, makes the yarn herself, and it&rsquo;s hand dyed and hand spun. She even runs <a href="http://www.spinnvilt.no/" target="_blank">classes</a>, if you feel like visiting Lillehammer this fall.<br /><br />The yarn blew us away, and we&rsquo;ve tried to use it in the best way possible. As it&rsquo;s quite expensive, we&rsquo;ve put it into projects mixed with other yarn. Here&rsquo;s the first project - a cabled vest for cool boys and girls.<br /><strong><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.pickles.no/storage/flettevest/spunnet_garn.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1247077824569" alt="" /></span></span>Yarn</strong><br /><a href="http://www.spinn-spinn.no/" target="_blank">ca 60 g Paradis 2, 2 ply hand-spun Wensleydale yarn</a><br /><a href="http://www.woolneedlework.com/Yarn/Cotton_Angora_by_Debbie_Bliss.shtml" target="_blank">2 balls cotton-angora</a><br /><br /><strong>Gauge<br /></strong>4"= 16 stitches / 24 rows<strong><br /><br />Size</strong><br />2 y<br /><br /><strong>Needles</strong><br />Circular needle US 8</p>

Knit the following 4. Then slip the 4 stitches on the extra needle back on the main needle and knit.<br />Keep knitting one round with cables every 15th round.<br /><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.pickles.no/storage/flettevest/cabled_vest.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1247078641751" alt="" /></span></span>Continue until the piece is 8.3".<br />Cast off for the arm opening like this:<br />Cast off 2, K 5, P 2, K 8, P 2, cast off 8, P 2 (The first purl is part of the casting off. Just make sure you purl where you have purled before), K 8, P 2, K 5, cast off 4, K 42, cast off 2.<br />Knit the right front piece back and forth; remember to purl where you knit in the back and vice versa. Continue making the cables in the same way as before.&nbsp; Cast off when the piece is 13.7". Knit the other front piece and the back piece.<br /><br />Assemble loose ends and sew the shoulders together.<br />Pick up 43 stitches around the neckline, but not along the lower opening, as you&rsquo;ll attach the collar to this bit later on.<br />Knit stockinet 1.1".

Repeat on the other side.
