Tiny Moebius Vest for a Monkey

So I've been loving on Elizabeth Zimmerman a lot more than normal lately, and I've really been wanting to make sweatery things. But being that I'm a large girl I don't want to make a sweater for myself, and I don't have enough yarn in my stash to make a sweater for my fiance, so I decided I'd make a moebius vest for the monkey I knitted him for Christmas..



I made the vest itself using some tussah silk yarn I got from this awesome etsy shop. It is in a colorway called "Swamp Monster" and Rita (the owner of the shop) thought for sure no one would buy it because she thought it was ugly.. I love it! Silk IS hard to work with, though, when it's spun like that. It kinda "sticks" and it doesn't stretch so it was tough.

Adorable, though. No icord edging, but if I ever make the realsize version I probably will.
