Friday Finish

I actually finished this on Wednesday but saved it until today cuz I haven't posted a Friday finish in at least a couple of weeks.  This is a child's vest, knit for the Afghans for Afghans project.  The current campaign items are due May 14 so I am happy I was able to get it done and in the mail on time. I am not a fan of this pattern, which was one of theirs on the site.  It's cute and wasn't hard but the way rows are knit makes the rolling inherent in stockinette oh so much more of a pain.  If it ever gets washed it is going to roll right back up, I think, and that upsets me since it's going to someone who probably has limited facilities for laundry and reblocking.  Live and learn, I guess...Now I am looking for a more local project, at least in the US, to knit squares for...far easier and I think I will get rid of a lot more extra yarn doing that.

Today we went for our walk around the Lake, as usual.  What a glorious, beautiful day...in spite of the dog poop I stepped in on my way back to the car.  WhattheHELL...people!  Clean up after your dog!! And, of course, I have brand new walking shoes with lots of nooks and crannies on the soles...>=-(  Ah, well, the day far outshines my irritation.  The little geese in my header are one of the new families along the path.  There are so many babies hatching right now...fun, fun!  I try to remember to bring a camera now and then...which also affords periodic rest sto...I mean...photo opps...=-)

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
