Two Accomplishments

 The vintage dickey is finished!
It is knit in Baby Bee DK yarn from Hobby Lobby on #6 needles.
I grafted the shoulders after knitting the turtleneck

which were both knit the same 10" high and 12" wide in 1 x 1 rib.
 So no matter which way you grab chest warmer, it will go on the right way!
Because when it is cold enough to need it, you don't want to have to figure out which way it goes on!
And laying out my two blocks a day paid off-I pieced the last two blocks 
and hope to conquer cutting out all of the sashing strips next!

  4. Love the dickie - it will keep the cold wind at bay. Check the middle block on the right edge of your quilt - one of the sections was flipped when it was sewn on.
