Almost Done!

I have been working on this vest for who knows how long and although it is still a work in progress it is almost done! I finished the armhole shaping and now i am working on the straps. I have decided to redesign the back of the vest to make it a bit easier for myself and also so that it will be finished quicker. I also had to use my own way of casting off for the armhole shaping because the pattern was a bit confusing.

Here it is!

To make this project a bit more difficult I have it on three different stitch holders and I am also working from both ends of the yarn. I had to do this because I didnt want to cast off the straps until I knew they were the exact size that I wanted them. If I need to add more length I can very easily start knitting away again without adding new yarn. This is the reason why I had to reconstruct the back of the vest but I think it will turn out really nice!

I am also currently working on the sleeves for a green lace heart sweater that I have been working on for a really long time along with a blue cabled cowl!

Heres to a cozy, warm, knit filled fall and winter!
