May, as well as being the month of my daddy’s birthday, is the month of the Milo!
No, I am not referring to the hot drink, I am referring to the utterly gorgeous 0m-4y size knitted vest, designed by TikkiKnits. I have been wanting to knit it since I began knitting, but always looked at the pattern and thought it’d be too hard. Well, I decided to bite the bullet and knit one. It went surprisingly well… so well that I began a second almost as soon as I’d finished the first! Number two is finished and after a break of a couple of days, I am thinking it might be time to start number three!
I have probably spent more time knitting than I should have – and less time on my school work – but it’s been a form of mental health break for me. The sense of accomplishment when I finish one, or when I successfully do one of the skills that has scared me off doing it before, it’s amazing. I don’t feel quite so useless when I look at my completed Milo, and it felt great today to gift the second one to Gabrielle’s teacher, to give to her newborn nephew!
I am yet to do a version with a cable pattern on it, but will definitely be doing one… perhaps for number four, because I think number three is going to have a variegated wool body, and the cable just gets lost in busy wool!
Here are my two completed Milos
If you are interested in the pattern you can get it here on Ravelry!

Super cute! When I was in university, I used to procrastiknit all the time and justify it by claiming that it helped clear my mind and helped me focus better on studying. Hee hee.
