Most of our weekend was spent indoors. I watched the wind and rain through our windows, and longed for the sun. Our cat tiptoed around the house, looking for warm patches on the carpet - he slinked away, dissapointed. It was a perfect opportunity to do some knitting - a project that has been on my 'list' for almost a year, cast on last week and finished yesterday.
A wonderful top-down vest - knitted in a soft, grey wool tweed. Another relatively quick project, modified just a little.
I love the simple design - it allows my sweet Ziggy to move and play without feeling restricted. It curls around his shoulders perfectly, and covers his bottom - all the important parts are being kept warm! Made big enough to last him through this winter, and next (i hope).
now this is perfect...the knit,the color,the model!! beautiful M...xoxo
