Here is a few photos of the Herringbone vest im knitting on my chunky knitting machine. I was inspired by the Herringbone sweater in Erika Knights Mens Knits book

Hope you all like it so far.

Hi Jesse

I designed a punch card to use on my machine. As the carriage passes the punch card reader it tells the carriage which needles to select for which colour yarn. Its as easy as that!

Looks great! I can't wait to get enough confidence to do something like that and stop with the multi-colored yarn, garter stitch scarves. :)

Looks great! I admire you for being brave enough to take on a herringbone knit design. I love the look, but am just too chicken as yet to try. Excellent job.
