Arglye Vest, Take Two
so, i knitted eunny's sweater vest twice now! this second time however, is *much, much* better! it actually fts.. such a good concept! instead of following the pattern, i just measured myself and a swatch and had some fun with a few proportions. well, since i never want to knit another arglye for quite some time, i think instead of talking about them, i'll just post pictures because those are more interesting.
and, the comparison:
(the new one is the short one, like me)

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!
