Quick fix project for hopefully instant results. This will be a vest with some ribbon accent and yes that is acrylic yarn...deep breath. I just liked the sparkle and the color alot and thought it might be an easy wear. What the heck, you never know till you try right?
Anyway, I like wearing vests over my shirts and in keeping with my new desire to create my own wearables this is project number two on the needles. I am hoping to have this one done by the end of this weekend.

Starting another project...I really have the urge to knit socks. I'm tired of those chain store flavorless white cottons that lack personality. I want to wrap my feet in warm wooly goodness seven days a week.
I think I need to give my knitting purpose...something that will drive me to finish my projects...like knit to wear, not just knit to knit. I mean really why wouldn't you want to have a full wardrobe of completely one of a kind wonderfully creatively conjured textile originals.
So I will start with socks and hopefully move on to finish a sweater or a skirt or a top or a pair of pants...
oh if I could only find more time in every day for a little more knitting.
