Earlier this summer I was digging through my filing cabinet and found a pattern for this vest.

It was the squares that caught my eye, knitted individually in color changes as desired. With my Penguono Sweater being too hot and heavy to knit on, might this vest not be a good project for summer? Or at least playing around with the squares?
The pattern is based on domino theory knitting. It's knitted in garter stitch so it's quick to knit. The pattern is teaching me how to join on new squares to create larger projects. Even so, I have not found the pattern directions to be precisely clear and I've had several re-starts as I try to figure it out and make adjustments to make it come out correctly. Here's my awkward start on a learning sampler.
It's a nice after-dinner project, while we watch a library video on TV.

Leigh, ocassionally I find things with price tags still attached. It is crazy how much things have increased in price (making them harder to get rid of as a side effect).
I do like the potential colours of the new vest. Very calming.
TB, where I've really experienced sticker shock is with equipment and supplies for weaving and spinning. I'm not sure I could make a start of it now, so I'm glad I've toted my equipment and yarn stash around over the years! It's just the way things are.
I like those colors too. Some of my favorites.
