Whew, I breathe a sigh of relief. After being an on-again-off-again project for at least 3 years, the cabled vest is DONE! I blogged about it on
Friday, but it deserves another mention here. It is now another item crossed off the list, leaving a pile of yarn behind. I initially bought 4 skeins of yarn for this project, me being inexperienced with re-sizing patterns, and not wanting to run out of yarn. I have 2 skeins left, the first being partly used, but the little balls left from the first 2 skeins make up for it. I already know what I want to make with at least one skein of the remainder: a scarf for an aunt. I spent some time perusing my craft books, looking for something suitable.

Last week, I said I would finish the vest (which I did) and make 4 more afghan squares. Here are my squares:
Unfortunately, my homework got the better of me this past week, and I only did the two squares above. I did, however, make 3 infinity scarves while sitting at the craft show, because doing homework when trying to sell your wares just seemed silly. (One funny thing though: in reading Nietzsche, I found the word crocheted)
Anyway. Next week, I plan to make up for this week. 5 afghan squares and 5 star ornaments. Hopefully I can do it :)

That pesky homework, always getting in the way of more worthy endeavors such as knitting and sleeping. Isn't it such a wonderful feeling to get to cross something of your list? Go you! I'm loving the granny squares too.
ReplyDeleteYay! The vest looks great and your brother does seem very dashing! I love the Lightening Strikes - what an interesting pattern.
