Almost Finished Well, yesterday before choir I managed to finish knitting the remaining section of Mom's Vest. I had already sewn the other front section to the back, so really I only have to do the shoulder and side seam, and then take care of some ends. I haven't decided what to do about the front... I'll try it on once it's sewn together, and decide if I want to add ties or something. Right now, I'm leaning to leaving it as is... designed to NOT be buttoned etc..., but to show off the contrasting color of the shirt below. Also, my mom has quite a few lovely pins that I think she could use if she wanted.
Of course, as soon as the vest was off the needles... 
I only had time to wind the black into a nice little center-pull ball, but the others won't be far behind. Once I get them all nicely balled in their little labeled plastic bags (more for cat-related security reasons than for anything else!), I'll start swatching. I really hope I get gauge... I knit rather tightly, so I probably need to bump up a needle size or 2. I also need to get my mom to swipe me one of my dad's sweater vests that fits him well so I can measure it... I have NO idea what size to make him. I'm guessing the smaller size since AS designs tend to be large, but my dad is over 6', so I might have to make it longer. I've been TERRIBLE about bringing in Latin quotes, but I've been MUCH better about taking pictures. Hmmmm.... maybe I can only have one or the other? Actually, I think I need to be a little more organized in the morning!
