Your colourwork is always

Your colourwork is always superior. You have my respect and admiration for it. Where did you order this? Did it come with knitting wools?

The vest is available in two colourways.
The pattern is separate...in her children's book.

Bill, I love the elephant

Bill, I love the elephant pattern and the vest you made is so handsome. As is your grandson. I have never ordered a kit but you are convincing me I should.
