I made Don a vest

Don said he wanted a vest, so happy to be able to make him something. I used Ann Budd's "The knitter's handy book of patterns." To avoid sewing the pieces together I knit left front, back, and right front all together. I love the binding I chose, curled edges with ribbing. Don made the sterling silver star buttons.

I used Encore yarn, worsted weight, size 7 needles. Don't do what I did -- check your gage! I did quite a bit of knitting before I realised how gigantic the vest was. I had to rip it all out and start over.
