First Christmas Gift Done!

It feels like it's too soon for that but really its not. This is for my youngest sister. It's the Joplin Vest, I got the pattern from my Crochet Today subscription.

Can you tell my model was slouching? I didn't notice till I added the photo to the blog. Oh well.

I've started this sister's Christmas gift. I'm almost done. I might have to go pick up another skein of yarn though. I'll be sharing that project next week. I can't wait to start the next project!
