a pin? a piece of string? or a pretty bow?

It might start to look like all I do these days is knit, and knit, and knit,

but that is because... well... because it pretty much ìs all I ever do these days.

(That is of course when I'm not eating ice cream straight from the bucket, 

reading or taking one of my many naps...)

 And the truth is... I have acquired quite a taste for it!

It's just so much fun to imagine little outfits for my babies!

Plus, I have discovered knitting is not nearly as scary and difficult 

as I initially imagined it would be...

And so... without further delay... here is what I made this time:

After having done a number of wrap-around vests

(which I imagined might get a little too hot during the summer)

I wanted to make something a little lighter.

Hence I started working on a classical shepherd style vest.

But to make things just a little more exciting, 

I decided to give the vest two little button holes instead of just one!

That way the vest can be closed using a ribbon, a piece of string, a pin, 

or even a pretty scrap of fabric as I have done to create the gingham 'bow'!

*

Easy...as can be!

And the result is a vest that ALWAYS matches baby's outfit!
