Sometimes reality doesn't hit til it arrives at the door

Like this Rowan Scottish Tweed 4 ply from the postman today, for the Crosspatch vest from Kaffe Fassett's Kaffe Knits Again.  I remember seeing (and wanting) this vest as a kit on ebay a few years ago, but as a beginner knitter then, I was not very confident. I'm not feeling so confident now, either.   Just thinking about those tangled balls of yarn and all those ends to weave...hmm

 

So, the yarn will be packed away for now, to join the other ziplock bags of promising KF projects.  In fact, it's become a sort of side hobby to collect yarn to knit his vests.  (Dotty and Chinese Basket are waiting for their rainy days.)  Maybe one day, when I can retire early, and the boys are still willing to their mom's handknits, I'll knit these for them.  :)
