OK, if you are wondering where is the thing i knitted?

Here i present to you, my first knitted vest for my boy. Time he featured in my blog too, don't want to land in the middle of a sibbling fight here:)

 Yes he loved to tear, pull, throw, climb and fall - basically anything destructive - Typical Boy ! How fascinating right?? ha ha

 The car buttons was something which i had to stitch on:)

 This vest would not have been possible if my dear mother-in-law wasn't with me. She is an awesome knitter and guided me thru every step! It is really difficult to work with 2 needles, also need to see that your stitches don't slip..i will not go to this area. Knitting is not really my cup of tea, but i had to try it to see how it works. My opinion - knitted sweaters are better, crocheted blankets are better!

Some details:
Basic vest pattern can be found HERE. - My MIL modified it highly to get the correct size!
Crochet car applique pattern can be found HERE.

What do you guys feel? Do drop in a word, love to hear from you:)

Love,
