Last night I finished the left front vest panel, and then with baited breath, weighed both it and the remaining yarn. The finished vest panel weighed 110 grams, and the yarn - 130 grams. WooHoo! Mama's going to have a vest without ripping out the back! I promptly cast on the right front vest panel. I still don't think there's any chance of my finishing this by closing ceremonies, but I will be wearing this vest sooner rather than later all because I strived for Olympic gold.And just because I like it, here's a close-up of our birch tree:
That's it for now at . . .
Nah, you'll get it done. No worries now. Good job!!!
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea to weigh it; as a knitting newbie I need to remember these tricks!
Great job! And that IS a great idea to weigh it......I'd of never thunk it!
ReplyDeleteOh Sara, you must think I can just sit around and knit and eat bon-bons! Ha!
ReplyDeleteWhoohoo! Awesome! It'll be nice to see it all done! I have this really neat, though time-consuming method of putting things together, that looks especially good on textured sweaters. I'll call you, since I may be up that way Monday or Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteI love the birch tree...
Looks beautiful, certainly medal worthy!
ReplyDeleteWhat great progress! We're all rooting for you, go for the gold! (without killing yourself, sleep is good too).
ReplyDeleteI just noticed I had an inaccurate post date on this; it was today's post, not yesterday's! No wonder you all think I've got time to finish. What I would give for another 24 hours!
