This is the Mithril Vest that I knitted for my daughter.  She had requested one after seeing the pattern on Ravelry.  This is by Susan Pandorf of Sunflower Designs  I purchased her ebook last year as a Christmas present for myself.  There were so many beautiful designs it was hard to decide which one to start with.  My daughter made that decision for me.

I am very proud of this project.  It is made from merino superwash yarn and had over 500 beads on the front.  I think if I made it again I would choice darker beads so they would show up better.  But my daughter wanted to the color and beads as close to the original as possible.
