Vest and frustration

So... I've been posting about the knitting I did earlier this summer and spring but what about that vest I first blogged about?

I'm making slow progess, I'm nearly done the back. I think it will be quite beautiful. The design on the bottom is particularly pretty.

Once again I'm using a Sirdar yarn: Country Style DK. The colour is Highland Burn. I really need to get my ass in gear on this because it will be a great Fall vest - so - maybe finishing it before Fall starts would be a good idea!


I must say, I find the pattern difficult to follow. I've had to scribble all over it to make it make sense to me... and it's basically a simple thing!!! I haven't been this frustrated with a pattern in quite a while, as you can see from the next picture.

One last picture...

Fowler just shows up from nowhere whenever I get out the camera. Here he is getting fur on my vest. It's sad how much cat fur is woven in to all my knitting projects. I'll never be able to knit something for someone who is allergic to cats.
