The vest I have been working on for months is now finished - I just sewed on the last button!
It looks pretty good, too, if I do say so myself. I'm quite pleased with the fiddly bits on the edging. And I learned a new stitch while making it - reverse single crochet, which is exactly what it sounds like. Instead of single crocheting from right to left, as usual, you crochet from left to right. It makes a cool-looking but easy twisted edge.
I'm really quite proud of this. Though now I kinda feel like I need a new big project to start on (can't start the Kira vest yet, because I still haven't figured out a pattern). I have some knitting stuff that I'm in the middle of and do want to work on, but I kinda want something new as well. Maybe I'll browse on ravely a bit today.
There will probably be pictures of the vest at some point, once I get good ones taken.
ETA - Or I could go browsing on ravelry and and finally find something that looks enough like the Kira thing in shape (or will, once I leave off that band in the front and make a few minor adjustments) to satisfy me. BRB, ordering yarn.
