My Fifteen Minutes
One little mention of my vests by Bonne Marie, then 250 of you all came by to visit. Hello, there! Come in and sit a spell and wander through my archives if you want the story of my adorable dog, my silly Man, and me trying to knit down my enormous yarn stash. The vests mentioned in the post have since been finished, and worn. I did complete the third Rosebud vest, in the recommended yarn, and I must say it's my favorite. Maybe more so than the cashmere and polwarth beauty. So, now that you've come by, I will confess that this is likely the last I'll be posting until my return from San Francisco next Tuesday night. I'm going to remember to charge my camera battery, so I can get some behind the scenes action from my photo shoot this time! One of the challenges of packing for the trip is deciding what projects to bring. Nothing too big or tricky to lug around. So, a sock or two, the red scarf, and, another vest! After reading Bonne Marie's post, I decided that the Ribby Shell would make a great vest, and in honor of Norovember, I'm doing mine in Kureyon #116, with some black bands. I'm knitting a smaller size, because, while I can get 5 stitches per inch with Kureyon, I'm not crazy with the result, and want to relax a bit, and knit 4.5 to the inch.
