swatch!

Knitting a swatch for the Deep V Argyle Vest was extremely entertaining. I can only hope knitting the actual vest is as exciting. And look how cute the swatch came out!

I guess I'm going to have to admit that that color is green. Not light brown. Green. Murky green. I still think it's great in its vintage ugly-ness. And the back of the swatch is very pretty, too - I'm not sure how it happened. Maybe I'm secretly good at fair isle? A natural pro? Maybe it's too early to say things like that??

I started knitting the ribbing at the bottom of the sweater...It's pretty slow-going. I like to think I'll be faster when I'm done with the ribbing but I have a feeling the fair isle will be at least as slow. But I think watching the progress will be exciting, at least.
