Made from real gorilla chest....
A while ago, a friend gave me a vest she'd made but wasn't wearing.
Mine is in heathered greys and has lovely shiny buttons. It just slid into my work wardrobe. So much so that I wear it at least once a week in fall/winter/early spring.
That's got me thinking that I need more vests. Vests, and I have spent a lot of time thinking about this, are the perfect article of clothing for me.
- I layer things, and a vest, by its very nature, is meant to be layered.
- There are no pesky too-short sleeves that make my extra-long arms look freakishly long.
- I have lots of yarn in the stash that isn't quite enough for a sweater, but is just right for a vest.
- Vests are probably fast to knit. See again: no sleeves.
I'm at the point where I am ready to choose a new project, and I am dithering between these:

Of course, my favourite is in German. I don't speak German, and I really doubt that Google translate speaks knitting.

I like the pink one - go for it :)
Yet, you know people who do speak German... one whose father wrote knitting patterns, in German when she was a child.
Just sayin'... say the word and this house can start in on it.
