The Made Up Vest Continues

By -
 The oldest trick in the knit book: hold your knitting up to a treasured fit.  This is the back of the vest laid atop my alpaca vest for sizing.  
I am finished with the back and nearing the armholes on the front.
I'm so easily bored with a project this big. 
I'm ready to be done but I won't let myself cast on anything else.
For the front there is no cable, just seed stitch all the way baby! 
When oh when will I be as content as the cats 
to just sit and be and enjoy the warmth of a radiator?
Then again, they can't knit…...

You are getting there! Our cats love the registers, too; it's a wonder we get any heat at all! LOL

Be still my heart--seed stitch on the entire front of the vest? I l-o-o-o-v-e seed stitch!! It's going to be beautiful.

Those are two happy cats, windows for bird watching and warm bums.

Love how the vest is coming along! Seed stitch will totally look awesome on the front! Cute kitties too. Mine loves to window watch too but she makes the birds at the feeder a little nervous!

I love the blue of your vest and will be interested to see how your seed stitch finishes it off :)

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
