So, I finished vest #2.
Plan on getting photos as soon as it warms up a bit.  I foresee an unhappy model with temps in the 40's.  

I started this skirt for myself.  Call me crazy, but I would like to wear it on Thanksgiving day.
Brown tights.  Brown boots.  
Lunch with friends.  And this for dinner. 
Have a wonderful day.

    Oh, you are too quick! I cannot believe you've made three PT items, and my languishes on the needles as I find other "shiny objects." Love the idea of the skirt. I say "idea" because you wouldn't catch me dead in a knit skirt, but it's going to be oh-so-cute on you!

    How great. I have a feeling you will get it done in plenty of time. I'm frantically knitting up my first ever sweater to wear on Thanksgiving but not sure it will get done in time. I may need to pick a smaller project. Can't wait to see the skirt done.The color is fantastic.

  34. When you said 'call me crazy', I thought you were referring to the temperature. Not for one second did I think you meant speed-wise. You'll have it done in no time! And it will look adorable!

  39. Ooooh, I do like that skirt. Of course you can do it, just don't do anything else from now until D-day. Clean houses and fresh laundry are so over-rated.

  40. I love squash soups. They always are wonderfully filling (though I always feel like mine come out a little bland, so I'm still working on a good balance).

    The vest looks great! You get so much done. I can't imagine how you do it all!
