See the problem? No? How about now?

The vest fits perfectly up to the armholes and then it goes very, very wrong. If I wore a lot of padding around my arms, perhaps it would fit better, but they’re just too deep and the fabric just flops over and looks stupid. Ideally I need to lose about two to four inches from the length.

I am a lot calmer about this than I was yesterday. If I’d written this post yesterday afternoon then the language would have been enough to make a sailor blush. But I ranted a bit to Diane and eventually realised that in the end there was only one thing I could do.

So when I can face it, I’m unpicking all the ribbing, undoing the crocheted steeks and very slowly unravelling back to before the first steek and starting again with a revised chart for the rate of decreasing. But this weekend will be sock knitting. You know where you are with a sock.
