Argyle Sweater Vest, Part II

so, as much as i really like eunny's sweater vest, that pattern was just not designed to fit me. maybe if i was 6 inches taller, with bigger boobs and smaller hips... THEN! success would be mine. however, i've been waiting on that growth spurt since 7th grade, and my hips dont have anywhere to go so... yeah.. i just have a sweater vest that looks super in my closet.
because my last sweater was such a success, and constructed based on a swatch and measuring tape, im doing the vest again (with new, smaller yarn) the same way. this should be interesting when i get to the v-neck, but hopefully that wont happen until after finals. and by then, its not like i'll have anything else to do anyway. i'm using knit picks palette in cream and bark colors on size 3 needles. i'm hoping maybe i can lap my sister on this project. sure, she could fill a swimming pool with socks, but! i'll be the one with two vests! who is cooler now, eh?

so far, ive done the bottom, and *almost* one pattern repeat. whoot!

How do you like this yarns? I am considering using this for my next colour project ... since it seems the price is good. ;)

now i think your sister absolutely rocks...but two vests is hard to go past.

you're right though - she is a sock knitting fiend!

Look at you, being all brave w/ the measuring tape and math. I can't wait to see how it works out.

I love it! I've been watching your site to see what your next project is and its looking good! I also love the battle with your sister. My brother's got one hat on me but I'm gaining with the sweet-deal Knit-Picks yarn! Good stuff!
