It’s Vestvember!
pepperknit — ... last week, my friend Christy posted a picture of her outfit that day, in which she wore her Bloom vest. It got into my head something awful and next thing I knew I was on Ravelry searching “vest.” Then Bertha tweeted something about looking at/considering Honeycomb. No, *I* am looking at/considering Honeycomb, I said! Clearly, vests had gotten into her head too. Next thing we knew, Christy had coined the name Vestvember, I’d created the Ravelry and Flickr groups, and we’d worked our mind control on the ...

Miller's Hat Test Knitting
The A.D.D. Knitter--because why should knitting be any different? — ... Now that this hat interlude is over, I am free to devote my attention to Vestvember . Are you ready?

pie for breakfast/vestvember.
barefoot rooster — ... Ummm, have you guys heard about Vestvember? Yep, that’s right: VESTvember. Well, I’ve had the yarn and pattern for a vest sitting here for months, so I decided that since I’m a joiner (which is not necessarily the same as being a finisher…) I would at least cast on my vest project this month and enjoy all of the vesty inspiration occurring over on ravelry. This is ...

Knitter--because why should knitting be any different? — ... like it were some sort of nuclear weapon and I were the potentate of a rogue state, casting on with it for a Vestvember project seemed like a foregone conclusion.

Vest-membering during Vestvember
Grumperina goes to local yarn shops and Home Depot — Say that three times fast! What's Vestvember, you ask? It's a good old-fashioned knitalong of vests during the month of November. You can find Vestvember on Flickr and Ravelry. I didn't have any plans to participate in Vestvember: so many of my friends are expecting, and I'm just swamped with baby knits for the next few months! No time for vests, not right now! Instead, take a look at my latest baby project: ...

Old, Old WIPs
Through the Loops! — ... Thanks to the inspiring folks who are participating in Vestvember I pulled out a very old WIP and finished it. Today was a good day to finish this vest since it also happens to be green day in ...

Vestvember: OWNED
The A.D.D. Knitter--because why should knitting be any different? — ... (vest) a nutty name (Vestvember?), and finally the communal daisy chain aspect (hey we're all in this together). The time frame makes the whole endeavor seem time-sensitive which does tend to light a fire under me, and the fact that a vest had to be made makes it a knitting with constraints project, similar to the writing with constraints concept, which I find completely freeing, and I just love me a group project. So it had been written even before the Flickr & Ravelry groups came to be: Vestvember was ON. Back-to-School U-Neck Vest in Ella Rae ...

A few people have asked about my whereabouts, and I thought I would drop in and tell that I'm fine. Still knitting, but here's the thing: I don't live and breath knitting anymore. I don't really know what happened, but suddenly I just noticed that I could live without checking the knit blogs and ...
