That is one beautifully knit vestie, my dear. Will you put a label in it?

I really liked the photo of Kitty and the wet hat. Now, as for just fixing it - you're right, I could have knitted together to fix the errors, but A) I'm not facile enough to do that without making a noticable error in the seed stitch, and B) this is for a loved one for Channuka/Christmas. I want it to be something they can pass down to their kids if they so choose. I want it to be perfect. Besides, it's not like I've got anything else to do with my time this week. Plans so far include knitting, eating, a little bit of bike riding, and drinking. I may toss in some light reading too, but I feel no particular need to expand my mind this week.

Take a tip from someone who is there every day, MAKE A FRIGGIN STITCH. Or conversely: KNIT 2 TOGETHER right under the arm. You ripped the whole row out over and over again? David, I'm coming down there to kick your ass. Oh dude…you’ve got to be kidding me. Take a tip from someone who is there every day, MAKE A FRIGGIN STITCH.

The finished armhole looks terrific. The neck is very interesting too. It looks like it has a little collar. Well, I’m glad that after all that frustration that the outcome appears to be worth it.
