The second vest I ever knitted, a scarf for my mom. That makes 2 knitted things

Merrick is a little harder to take as a model than Mariann (whom I suspect is loving to model).

I had a lot of fun and many frustration learning to knit with this vest. One sleeve ended up being 4 inches too long! I also ran out of the blue soy-wool yarn to make the collar. I tried with a color I had here, and it wasn't pretty. Undo the whole thing and did what I'm very good at: Improvise! So the cowl comes from the same sweater I made Mariann's solstice dress with. So that way they fit together, see?

Papa finds it a little weird and Mariann told me it the white looked like a bib. Oh well. I like it. I didn't blocked it yet and I hope it will make the bottom stop curling up. The big wooden button has a tree craved on it :)

And this I did for my mom. She chose the yarns and I ran out of one of the 2 so guess what.... Improvisation saved me again. I continued with the mohair and gradually bend off so that I only had 1 stitch left.

I really like knitting. I'm happy I decided to learn how.
