Honeycomb Stitch Baby Vest

I've been knitting in the round again... Still finishing off all those loose-ends I told you about. And I think it's safe to say that everything is finally finished.

This is the second baby's vest I've designed and made in this style. (And baby loves them...)

The lower stitching is 'Honeycomb' which is as follows:

Round 1: knit
Round 2: purl 1, slip 1
Round 3: knit
Round 4: slip 1, purl 1
Repeat

The top is simply knitted in Stockinette Stitch with a little eyelet hole for a button on one side.
The wool is Morris Empire 8ply in 'Candy Twist'

Everything is now completed, which means I'm all ready for the newest moon of this new year! Time to sow the seeds of intention and set some goals. A great website that I love to visit, http://mooncircles.com/  reminds me that there is magic to be found in everyday - sometimes I forget. There is some very interesting infomation there on using moon phases to enhance our projects and everyday life in general. The following extract is about the time during a new moon and is from the website. (Thank you Dana!)

'The moon travels with the sun, rising and setting as one. At first she’s lost in the bright solar light… bathing there perhaps. It’s how the moon makes herself new. And you? It’s your chance to become new now too. Lose yourself in possibilities. Forget your history: your likes and dislikes… even those goals you say you want but never seem to achieve. Refresh instead your animal nature, senses awake, happily, simply aware of being alive.When the moon starts to gently lag behind the sun, pulling away from her bath; you’ll see a thin crescent in the west, just after sunset. Make a wish. In the days ahead, realize there are invitations all around you, arriving in ways you might mistake if you’re not open. Your task is to say yes to an invitation you’ve never said yes to before. Embark on a big or little adventure. Start something new.'
