Good Thing He Likes Vests...


I'm going to try to finish an other vest for Matt before Christmas. He bought his big Christmas gift (I bet you'll never guess what it is...) so I kept his gift buying to a minimum. So I want him to have some things to open, I'm going to try to get this done too (sadly, neither vest is a surprise).

I started this vest back in April (he picked out the yarn on my birthday yarn shopping trip) and I had this much done:


So it obviously knits up pretty quickly. I should have the front finished today, then just the back (which is nothing but the moss stitch).

I also stole was inspired by Tori's Fuzzy Feet. She's using LB Fisherman's Wool, then she's dyeing them with Kool Aid, then felting them. Hmmm, just what I need. I have the first one almost done (they are a fast knit). Like to get them done and felted to keep my toes warm soon!!! I'll probably still make a pair of the Fiber Trends Felted Clogs. I made a pair for myself a couple of years ago and they finally wore out. This time I'll get the leather soles for them. I know the Fuzzy Feet wear out fast, but they're such a fast knit!.

So 10 days before Christmas! Ya, I think I can get a vest done by then....

    LOL, I forgot to turn the heel once (maybe twice) but noticed it right away. I think they are so easy to knit that you just forget about that part. I like the Fiber Trend Clogs too. Maybe I'll make those for me instead of, or as well as, Fuzzy Feet. I like how the vests are turning out! Matt musta been a good boy this year! :-) Take care! Tori

    Tori: the thing I like about the Fiber Trend clogs is the double sole. You make two garter stitch soles, so they're hard and hard wearing. They'll last a little longer than the Fuzzy Feet (but take longer to make). Still need to finish the second Fuzzy Foot... gotta get the second vest done, tho'
