Notes

Love the softness and colors of the yarn, but HATE how the hanks tend to tangle when you try to wind them! In the time it took to wind 4 balls, I almost could have knit one of these vests!

18 March--Using a strand of each to make a super bulky yarn, using the 12 month pattern and hoping to get a 2T from it. I have enlarged the armholes by casting on an additional 4 stitches per armhole.

26 March--All done; just needs buttons.

28 March--Done! I found wood-like resin buttons at WalMart that look great. Fits Gemma well, but for that little pot-belly of hers!
