Slipped Stitches

A small group of knitters with a range of knitting experiences - from the wise Maple Girl to the careful and fresh faced Sauce, and the full throttle knit or die style of Sly. Enjoy our varied projects and thoughts, and if you don't have anything nice to say...well...you know.

 

Believe it

Well, thanks to the encouragement and enormous help of Sly (undoing my 3 needle bind-off, whoa), I have managed to finish the GD vest!! Here it is in all it's glory:



The picture is a little deceiving as I have all the ends tucked in, and I still have to do the little crochet border around the armhole and neckhole. I am so close....

I have already started my sweater from Yarn Girls and I'm having some Gauge Grief. I've never measured the gauge before, so I'm not sure why I'm starting now. But now that I have I realize that it's less/smaller than the gauge says, but I'm not sure how much is going to matter. I could just make one size up and hope for the best, or look for bigger needles (can't even imagine they exist, I already feel like I'm knitting with telephone poles). I'll have to get a consult from Sensei G. this weekend hopefully!!
