Notes

August 21 This yarn is a pain to work with, but I think that I might actually wear this vest, so here goes!

August 30 Almost done with the back…

September 6 Starting up on the left side. Finished with the back and right side.

September 23 Almost done. Just have to finish the hood and the sleeves (my modification).

September 24 Decided to opt out on the sleeves and hood when I realized it looked fine as it was. Done! This was a pretty fast project, bulky and warm, and it looks great on with a ribbon or belt to hold it closed. (I never bought buttons. blushes) This is perfect for cool spring or fall weather!

October 11 Sorry these photos are so bad. I need to take some decent ones soon…
