and here's a quick peek before it gets shipped off to its rightful owner, my newlywed niece, rebecca. happy birthday, becs!! it is the shawl collar vest designed by amanda berka and available free on ravelry - and to quote tom peterson, of portland late night tv fame, "free is a very good price!" becca is a wee bit of a thing so i made the smallest size - if i were to make one for me i would definitely go for something a bit larger. of course, i didn't need to use the closure in the front but i tried it just for kicks! what the heck! the yarn is patons classic wool merino. easy to knit with and needles nicely. i got it on sale and my niece wanted a grey sweater so i killed two birds with one stone!!
but, as usual, the best part is that it is done, done, done!! on to bigger and better things!!
