Saturday accomplishments...

It took three years and as many attempts to knit Adam a sweater before I decided to just knit a simple vest. Yesterday, I finally finished it. Project report will follow when I can take a picture of him wearing the vest. Meanwhile, here's a picture of happiness after I seamed the body and before I started the armhole edges:

Trying on Adam's vest
Yay! I hope it fits Adam better than it fits me ^_^

Also, I took the time to wash and block my Retro Redux shrug, something I was reluctant to do for a while. Can't wait for it to dry! Thank you so much for the tips, Kerri!

Soaking Retro Redux shrug
Oooh. It's so pretty when wet!

And here it is, the first project to dry on my new blocking board (before I added pins to shape it):

Blocking Retro Redux shrug
It's the macrovirus from Star Trek: Voyager, Season 3 Episode 12!

I also blocked my socks and started my Tangled Yoke cardigan! What an eventful Saturday! Now, on to things I must do before I meet Hilary at Samovar this afternoon.

Happy Knitting!

Hey it looks just like mine when it was blocking! ;) Great job on the blocking, it looks like the lace pattern really opened up!
