Heliopath Vest KAL

I was gifted an electronic version of the Unofficial Harry Potter Knits magazine in January (thanks babe) and have been waiting for the right moment and pattern to start knitting. Following @socalmeaghan and @ghostfaceknitter on Instagram provided just the right amount of incentive to start knitting the Heliopath Vest:

They both provide all the details in their respective blogs The Unapologetic Knitter and GhostFaceKnitter. Not only is there a prize are there four prizes, these lovely ladies have literally broken down the daunting process into weekly goals. I made a nifty little Google Calender to keep track:

 
The KAL (knit along) started today and even though I should have started knitting the swatch to check the gauge, I didn't exactly get the chance to put needle to yarn. I did, however, brave the rain to visit Unwind for my yarn, a new needle and a glorious scoop of buttons (plus 8 perfect for this project).
