Having finished Em’s jumper/sweater, I’d promised David that I’d knit him a vest. Having nothing suitable in the stash, on Friday I headed down to Daisy Designs in Wollongong to get something. Had a lovely knitting day, and picked up a pile of Patons Jet in green for the vest.
I brought home the nice paper bag full of yarn, and put it at the end of the sofa, ready to be cast on.
I didn’t get around to it on Friday night or yesterday, and last night we went out for dinner. Arriving home, we settled in and I realised that I could hear a suspicious rustling noise.
Twinkie had found the paper bag.
No yarn was harmed in this process.
A few labels were ripped, but it’s not the yarn she’s interested in, thankfully.
Last night I cast on the vest, after making a few adjustments to the pattern. I decided to omit the seams and knit it in the round, which wasn’t any hassle, but casting on 192 stitches without twisting them turned into a mini drama, as did the gigantic knot in the middle of the ball.
But all is now well, and the vest is cast on, no thanks to Twinkie, or the knot!
Poor Twinkie,
Naughty corner for her.
Love the vest…mmm suggest to my DH.
the advertures of Twinkie! Was it just the paper she wanted to shread? Sissy shreads magazines covers to wake me up in the morning. that is after almost sitting on my face does not wake me up.
Well… we buns do need fiber.
Cute Twinkie story. The vest looks nice. I like the color.
The pattern looks great and I love the green. Twinkie obviously knows a great paper bag when she sees it and thought it was time you cast on your next project!
Oh my, I can’t believe the yarn is safe after seeing the bag! Wow!
I really like the vest pattern…wish I could convince my husband to wear a vest!
LOL Twinkie REALLY likes paper bags. Does she also shred magazines and book covers?
Naughty rabbit.
But, tell me, what is David doing straddling the arm of that sofa backwards?
Rescuing the yarn from behind the sofa, thank-you-very-much!
192 stitches without twisting – quite a challenge!
What is it with Jet and knots in the ball. I found two within the first 1/3 of a ball once!
Naughty naughty Twinkie! Perhaps a name change to Russel??
I think I would like to knit such a vest. It would go quite quickly. Now to convince the Spunk that he needs one!!
Ah, perhaps you wouldn’t have cast on if Twinkie hadn’t reminded you about the hidden bag…

I hate knots, but have learned to accept they are just part of knitting. You’re off to a good start on the vest.
You get so much knitting done! I’m doing this vest for each of my boys – bet you get finished before me and I’ve nearly finished one of the backs LOL.
Wow, like that vest!! You re so lucky! Fluffa chomps into my wool if he gets a chance,maybe Twinkie is a better mannered girly?
Whoops.. I scrolled too far when I commented, sorry. Anyway… That brown paper bag sure looks tasty through a bunny’s eyes!
