Does anyone have any experience, feedback, comments on www.ArtFire.com? It looks like the only thing that sets it apart from Etsy is the listing fee. The last I knew, Etsy charged $0.20. Artfire apparently charges nothing on the basic (free) account, which has a 12 item list max. But I could be completely and totally wrong. Chime in...

With simple shaping and easy to follow instructions, this pattern made me remember how beautiful moss stitch can be! Now all I have to do is muster the ... strength to wear them outdoors. Apparently, they are coming back in style?

Now all that's left to do is build the courage to wear them.

Lately, I've been falling back on a easy patterns that I've worked before. Going back to the beginning of the year, I decided to pick up the Cropped Vest pattern (EWV 0209-2009 and EWV 0128-2009). This time, I changed up the decreases and made it a little longer. Instead of performing the decreases two stitches away, I pushed it out one more at 3 sts. As a result, it gave the vest a raceback look to it (which is why I'm calling it a tank instead of vest). All in all, I'm pretty happy it and plan on wearing it with light blue jeans and maybe the grey 3/4 sleeve length top under it.

I pretty much made this up as I went along, but based it off of a blanket pattern from my pattern collection. I messed up the back a little bit because I hadn't yet gotten the hang of altering a pattern. It took me some time to figure out the pattern repeat, and then apply it to knitting in the round. As a result, I have a small patch of reverse stockinette in the back, at the beginning of the beret. I supposed I could have fixed it, but didn't. If I try to make another one (which is likely because it's way to use of extra yarn), I think I'll have a better grasp of applying the pattern to circular knitting in the beginning.

I loved the Apricot Weekend Vest (EWV 0829-2009) so much that I had to make another. This time around, I made it a little longer partially because I wanted it longer, but also because I didn't want a lot of leftover yarn!
