Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas from California! Oliver's vest was finished just in time (although there was no time for washing and blocking) and it fits perfectly! At least for the moment. I hear superwash wool tends to grow, but as long as it gets BIGGER I think it will be OK.

Pattern is the Pembroke vest from Petite Purls webzine. Yarn was about 1.5 skeins of Cascade 220 Superwash in forest green. It is painfully cute. There was an issue with the neckline that required picking out the bindoff and reknitting it. (Oliver has quite a sizeable noggin; for future reference, use stretchy bindoffs on neckline.)

We had a wonderful Christmas! Hope you had a great day too!
