Sweater Vest

I finally finished this one. I don't know why it took me so long. I guess I'm just a slow knitter. I would love to be faster. The pattern is called Shore and can be found here on Ravelry. I used Knit Picks Swish DK yarn for this.

I made the 3-4 year size and it fits my almost five year old. But he is a little small. He says he hates it, but at least I got him to wear it to church and smile for a picture!

La Vie en Rose Hat

I noticed this hat on Ravelry a while back and really liked it. I have been working on a sweater vest for one of my sons for quite a while and needed a quick break. This was the perfect project! I made all of it in one sitting except for the braids, which I made today. I followed the 6-9 month pattern but it is snug on my baby, so I will be gifting this hat to a friend's younger baby and making a size up for mine. It was a fun quick project! I used Lion's Brand Vanna's Choice yarn and the pattern is here on Ravelry.
