Nearly finishing Patterned Vest

I have enjoyed following the progress on the KnitAlong but was needle-deep in a vest that I started. Learning a lot on this one and it is a great opportunity to apply our lessons about patterns and chart reading...also correcting a cable cross mistake that is four rows down! In the beginning I read the text instructions a lot and then found that I preferred the chart and finally transitioned very comfortably into reading the stitches. I have vowed to complete this vest before starting a new project...(which will be a step up in building my knitting character). Pretty excited by the sock knitalong though since I have quite a few good sock candidates in my stash.

Sivey, your determination to finish a project before starting a new one is amazing! Such an inspiration! I am happy you like the knitalong and plan to make your own Pixel socks one day. The knitalong materials will be in the club resources whenever you are ready to make another pair of socks ๐Ÿ˜Š Happy knitting, my friend ๐Ÿงถ
