Kai turned six on the tenth of this month. A while ago he asked me to knit him a red school vest for his birthday. Because he wanted to wear it to school it had to be a solid red. I tried to find a pattern with cables or something because a plain red vest is just too boring to knit. I did a lot of searching and couldn't find a pattern I liked, so I decided to make one up. Dangerous, I know.
Thanks to Michael and his superior math skills It wasn't as hard as I thought. I looked through some books and various patterns and found a few cables I liked and jumped in. I am excited to say that it actually worked and he wore the vest to his first day of school.
I'm pretty excited because I would like to start selling some of my patterns and other knitting stuff at my etsy store. I've neglected my store lately-- in fact I it might be empty right now.
I need to make a few adjustments and knit the pattern one more time to check for errors, but once I've done that I can put the vest pattern and the pattern for the cardigan up.

Looks great!
That turned out cute.
If I could knit like you I would cook a lot less too.
I love it when I make something up and it actually works out. Sometimes quite the opposite happens.
You are so very talented.
You are amazing!

Thanks Thanks Thanks! I do love the vest. And Smash I agree, more often than not my projects don't turn out the way I'd like. I just undid a baby sweater I was working on. Oh and Jeri, your baby gift might be a little late.
I hate you (only because you have SO many more skills than I)!
I cannot believe you can do that! What a talent!
