Notes

Made this vest again, love the non-pattern! Same procedure as Ron’s Vest, my previous foray into this non-pattern. So, most of my thinking was already done, and I could just enjoy knitting around and around. I made the v-neck a bit lower so that he can get to his shirt pocket, which always has reading glasses, fountain pen, and pencils in it, for drawing emergencies.

This one is close-fitting, slightly by accident. But wool is infinitely blockable, I have to hope. He does love it, and claims it’s just like a second skin. Nice heathery green yarn too.
