Sorry to be gone so long, but life sometimes gets in the way of blogging. I've been house hunting in Oklahoma, welcoming a new grandson in to the world and getting another house ready to be put on the market. I have been knitting in between these events, so I have actually finished a few things.
First off is the Redhook vest by Jared Flood. I fell in love with this pattern when I first saw Jared's Made in Brooklyn book. The vest is knit out of Katmandu DK yarn. I'm really happy with the way this one turned out. I am finally learning how to alter patterns to fit me.
I also finally finished the Simple Garter vest from Cheryl Oberle's Folk Vests book. I had started it quite a while ago and then put it down for some unknown reason. It's an easy knit and I eventually picked it back up and completed it. It is made out of Crystal Palace Taos. It was a fun yarn to knit with. Again, I am happy with the outcome and the fit. I get many compliments on it whenever I wear it.
And last, but not least, I finished a pair of socks. These are simple cable patterned socks knit out of yarn that I got while on vacation this past summer.
