onto the steeking
i got all the main knitting done, and now i need to steek the neckline. (i skipped the steeking of the arms & back of the neck and knit the front & back flat. the excess fabric some people got scared me).
C'est fini! (no really, it is)
Ha ha! Its done! Photo compleate with my geek glasses! (I am proud of my geekage!) full yammering on about the pattern and the finished vest can be found over >>>>

C'est fini!
WOO! So the vest is blocking and smells a little funny. I wrote a bit more on it over
hereI think it is going to be a winner-but-not. I didn't really knit this because I would wear it all the time, cos I won't. I live in Oregon and it doesn't really get cold enough alot of a double thick hot vest and it is that cold, one generally wants sleeves. But it was fun to knit and the whole steeking thing was fun! Although I don't think I am the type of person that should do alot of big color work projects :/ not really my thing it seems.
errata
i didn't check all the archives here, but the first couple months, and am wondering if anyone knows of any errata on this pattern? on the first page of the pattern when you start increasing after the waist, the pattern seems to be saying decreases when it means increases. anyone else notice this?
anyway, i've just finished the waist and will start those increases. just have to refigure my math. my row guage is smaller than what i swatched. no problem so far, as i wanted the vest to be just a bit longer than the pattern would create, but i figure i better get it right for the bust. i also have to look closer at how these steeks are going to be made. i don't understand at all why i'll be casting on more stitches at the neck? this pattern is going to be a bit more challenging than i thought.
