The back of my son's bear vest is finished. This works up really quick and I think it's going to be an adorable vest.

I'm using Plymouth Encore Worsted in Cocoa, color #1204. 75% acrylic; 25% wool. Knitting with size 6 and size 10½ needles.

I love the bear's little tails.

I want to knit everyone socks and knit for the kids. NOW!

I pick my knitting up much more often when those cool nights arrive.

Here is the progress on the Christmas stocking:
