Sometimes “stash happens”!
Last week, I saw the Sundial Vest pattern on FB and decided to make it. The yarn I want to use will be here next week, but yesterday - inspired by the “Best Little Yarn Crawl in Texas” challenge of busting our stashes - I looked through my stash and saw these 4 balls of Medina … I decided to give it a try and put the two together.

I’m at EOB 1 (end of ball 1), 14 rows into the Upper Back.

Because the yarn I’m using is a little bit thinner than the suggested yarn, I just make a larger size: I’m following the instructions for 3X, but the measurements will come out as L. To get there, I worked the Lower Back until I reached the desired width of 42”, then determined that I used “3X” rows to get there.

So far, I’m enjoying the project a lot. The yarn promises to look good, going in all those different directions. The instructions are good to follow. Progress is fast. There’s a good chance it will be done quickly, and therefore wearable this summer!
