What the Dickens?

Ha!  I'm on a roll.  I would have posted last night, but Blogger was hiccuping and kept giving me a service error when I tried to start a new post.  Oh well, I'm here now.

The project I'm currently working on is a vest I've had in my queue since last winter.  I even bought the yarn last winter, but I was so intent on getting "Acer" completed that it just had to wait until now.


It's just a simple vest, but looks to be very warm.  The back is done (plain stockinette) and this is the left front.  Chunky yarn + Size 10's = A fast finish?  Let's hope so!

Berroco Pattern:  Dickens
Yarn:  Berroco Blackstone Tweed Chunky;  Needles:  Size 10

I'm not sure if'll I'll be belting it or not; we'll have to see how it looks on me at that point.  If not, I think it will look OK with it just being open.

And here's another little diddy I finished last night - we all need those simple, mindless projects right?

Pattern:  Chinese Waves Dishcloth (no purling involved - 4 row repeat)
Yarn:  Sugar'n Cream

This was the perfect project to take on the road now that Gus has started traveling every Sunday for high school bowling league, or watching intently Season 2 of "The Walking Dead" (it's on AMC Sunday nights).  Gus and I are now avid WD fans.  It won't resume new episodes until February, so we had to resort to re-watching Season 1on instant Netflix. 

There's no snow here yet, but it certainly is getting colder.  It would be nice to have some white stuff when I buy the Christmas tree this weekend.  Be careful for what you wish for, right?

Happy Knitting ~

Such a pretty vest. I love the tweedy look of the yarn you chose.
