I finished my vest over the weekend. The steeks weren't as bad as I thought they would be. The yarn I used was slippery, so I had to take the extra step of doing an overcast stitch on the cut edge. I don't know if that will help anything or not, time will tell.

Now I'm back to working on a sweater I started in July.

Since my DH has been goose hunting since Wednesday, I've had a lot of knitting time. I started a fair isle vest from an old Knitter's Magazine. This vest will be my first experience with steeks. I'm using Peruvian Alpaca yarn that I purchased from Elann quite some time ago. See, I said I would start using up my stash...

My little foray into weaving was short-lived, not that I haven't enjoyed learning something new, it just isn't the same as knitting.
So, in my effort to clean up some of the UFOs, I have finished my black flower basket shawl.
