Now I have pictures!  Here is my nephew's vest, completed.  Sorry for the wash out, the flash on my Powershot is obnoxious.  The pattern is actually for a hoodie, but I finished a few rows of it and finished a skein and thought, it looks darn cute this way!  So I left it.  I found the perfect wooden buttons for it that match the tan shade in the variegation.  It was my first time sewing buttons onto any kind of crocheted garment!  I was proud of myself.
This vest is actually quite versatile, as demonstrated by my sister (who is 21, I could not believe she actually got it onto her body):
and my cat (he tried it on before I washed it.  Notice the peeved expression.):
I'm hoping the sleeves aren't too ridiculously long.  I had to play with the sizing because the pattern only went up to 12 mos!  Here is a close up of the nifty buttons:
In all probability it will be shipped tomorrow. I'm glad it's done and I hope the people for which it's intended will like it! Maybe I'll even get a pic of it being modeled! That'd be nifty XD
