I named this pattern Lonicera, the botanical name for honeysuckle, a beautiful & fragrant wild vine. A favorite childhood memory is of wandering the fields around my childhood home, on warm June days, looking for honeysuckle patches. My sisters and I would pluck the flowers and carefully pull out the stamen for a sip of the honeysuckle's tasty nectar. The pattern for this vest/wrap went out to test knitters this morning. I hope to have the pattern ready for publication by mid July.

That is so beautiful! I can't wait to get my hands on the pattern. This will make a perfect Christmas gift.

That is freakin' brilliant (pardon my language) and looks like something I saw in Victoria secret, but WAY WAY prettier!

love, love, love! I just knit my first project with bamboo last week (a market bag) and was thinking how nice a garment would be made out of it!
Can't WAIT for your pattern. :D
