A bit of progress.

It's very late and I'm very tired, but I wanted to quickly share what I've been working on the past two days, because it finally seems to be going (mostly) right.



I'm making a vest for my sweet nephew to wear at Christmas, the Pembroke vest, from Cascade 220 Superwash that I bought so long ago I don't even remember where it came from. (Maybe the shop in Iowa that I always like to visit? Possibly.) It's a lovely shade of Christmas-y green, and so soft. Of course I misread the chart and did an extra cable cross in each portion of the pattern repeat, but I don't really think anyone will be able to tell, much, as long as I am consistent with my screw-ups. I also knitted the ribbing at the bottom slightly longer. I'm going to use a 3-needle bind-off at the shoulders, just to make the finishing easier, because I am coming down to the wire as far as time.

I did find a suitable replacement gift for my mother. Here's hoping she isn't too disappointed that she isn't getting knitting this year.
