Cider House Rules
Thursday evening, I finished knitting the button-band on the Cider House Rules vest for Bryan. Friday evening, I sewed on the buttons and Saturday, it got a good washing and serious blocking on our bed, it needed to be stretched about three inches lengthwise.
Today he wore it for the first time. He absolutely loves it and it looks so good on him.

The vest looks wonderful! And I like your idea about keeping a knitting journal.
But I would spend more time with the journal and forget the blog as well. Thanks
for leaving a comment on my blog!
