Spaced Out Gifting

The Man is not good at giving gifts. Last Christmas, my gift was a George Foreman grill that he re-gifted after he got it from his aunt. I know because he left the card in the box when he re-wrapped it. I thought it was hilarious. He just doesn't have the gifting gene. This year, I was regifted a car vacuum. Christmas this year was a let down overall, as I get older I have learned to keep my holiday expectations low. But this year the regift was not amusing. So, I opened the Man's wallet, pulled out a credit card, and ordered this Space Board from Patternworks. Thank you, my Man! At last, a gift I really want! It's in use here with another Ekeby, waiting to be assembled. The Man doesn't like this sweater. The only one I've gotten a positive comment on is my Gloria. I've come to the conclusion that this vest is a possible candidate for flaming on the You Knit What blog, but I think it's a great shot of color under a lab coat for my hospital job. This is from the first Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton book, and knit in Iro #56. I modified the front by making the center slash a little deeper. I'm on to another one, 60% done, in Iro #47. Reruns and leftovers for me!
