Birth of a Zippy

i will just be honest and admit that i am copying brookylntweed. but its such a good idea. and although i have been reminded that its the beginning of summer when people catch me knitting, i'll be the bee's knees in the fall! ha. here's the back panel:

i'm using peace fleece in sheplova mushroom. its so pretty. today though, i packed a pear in the same bag as the yarn and found that i do not enjoy eating fleecey fruit. im knitting on size 8s, and i reduced the pattern by a ton and am making the zippy fitted. right now, im working on the front pieces at the same time. pretty exciting!

Arglye Vest, Take Two

so, i knitted eunny's sweater vest twice now! this second time however, is *much, much* better! it actually fts.. such a good concept! instead of following the pattern, i just measured myself and a swatch and had some fun with a few proportions. well, since i never want to knit another arglye for quite some time, i think instead of talking about them, i'll just post pictures because those are more interesting.
