Here is the little cross-your-heart vest I was making for my daughter. It blocked pretty nicely, except that it's so light-weight that it started to blow away in the wind.

This little baby's made of Phildar "Angora" yarn (80% angora, 20% lambswool) - one of Phildar's only all natural fiber yarns, as far as I can tell (I'm such a yarn snob. Just don't like the feel of synthetics in my hands) . It's done from a French pattern (hence the name cache-coeur - literally, heart hider) in the Citronille line. She likes it, unlike the poncho, and is willing to wear it. Yay! That's what I call real success. I'm just tickled pink, as my mom would say.
