My struggle with weight continues.....

Why oh why do I loose weight and then 'find' it again!!!

Well, I refused to quit! Daddy always said you don't fail until you quit!

I found this pattern and think I'll make it! Maybe it will hide some of those returning bulges!

Susan Esser’s Midnight Express Vest, a free pattern from Sue and Ample-Knitters



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ample-lister and designer Susan Esser was kind enough to provide one of her great patterns for free download from Ample-Knitters. The “Midnight Express Vest” is worked from side to side in heavy worsted on fairly large needles. It’s a quick knit with no seams, and is easy to size up or down.

Check out Sue’s website, She Knits.

I'll need to learn the I-cord 'attached' to the garment. But I found this on YouTube.





Here are two completed versions of this vest:

I'll had to finish a couple of projects I have on my needles first!
