Last year's Christmas socks, presented to all my dear friends.
I have a ton of leftovers from last year's Christmas sock project. October was knocking on my door, so in the spirit of Halloween, time for yet another Monster project.
I was pretty discouraged after failing to make it up Pikes Peak again this year, and at about the same time, I needed a break from snowflakes.
So I pulled out my sock yarn leftovers and dug out a favorite sewing pattern for shaping guidance, then created another leftovers project, a Monster Vest, with colors that stalled my seasonal slide into winter doldrums and provided a much-needed boost of self-confidence.
Very cool vest! I am just blown away by your creativity, Deborah!
ReplyDeleteIngenious...I am impressed...
ReplyDeleteSweet! What a cheerful creation! I am so in awe of anyone who can knit or crochet.

ReplyDeleteI love the vest and socks!
Do you know where I can get the pattern for the socks?
Also going to Yuma soon and will be busy crocheting snowflakes again
Thank you, Anonymous, Neferi, Patty and Delena!
ReplyDeleteDelena, I think there's a link to the sock pattern here.
Okay. You've been reading my mind again! I've been wanting to make a stripey side-to-side vest from yarn scraps for oh, I don't know, a couple of years now. But of course I don't ever get it done...
ReplyDeleteYours is beautiful and I hope you wear it proudly and often. The black really sets off the colours and makes them all work together.
Very cool and great colors!
ReplyDeleteA monster vest! How perfect. Thank you so much for the good wished for year two at T.H.. It was so nice to hear from so many of you last week. Will you be working toward your Pikes Peak goal next year. Maybe 2012 will be your year!
