I love the colour and pattern of the yarn.Poshyarnshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12895985573831346825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-56099195719799659472009-02-28T15:33:00.000-07:002009-02-28T15:33:00.000-07:00Being out in the woods on captures the past two weeks and away from the computer, work, and the internet and all the stresses associated with those...I completely understand what you wrote here.

Sometimes when something doesn't fit the image we had in our mind we can feel a bit disappointed.

Love those! Could happily have more of those! :o) A very lovely post, Raina...And I like the sweater a lot! The sleeves are different. Live with it as is a little while and see how you feel about it. It looks very good with that long-sleeve top you have on under it. And the rich color of the yarn are gorgeous! I'm hoping for some bliss moments with weekend...when I'll be doing some knitting too! ;o) Happy Days ((HUGS))Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09179096002434748927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-54757824513228260602009-02-27T05:07:00.000-07:002009-02-27T05:07:00.000-07:00Ready to take flight? Haha! I had similar feeling with my Merino vest, I then prolonged the sleeves even more, they still look like wings but more like those they wear today. If you are not completely happy with the vest and I can advise you, do it as you suggested, take off the "edges" and even take up few stitches inside. <BR/>Your work must be really annoying now for you.Bohemian girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02631000366849998907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-15663239611842468792009-02-27T00:22:00.000-07:002009-02-27T00:22:00.000-07:00You're flying out of the colony :o)<BR/><BR/>Looks like a beautiful vest from here but probably worth fixing it if it's bugging you - but hey why I am telling you that - you're the perfectionist!Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00149251009285628796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569646987208104674.post-83546161490756072722009-02-26T17:56:00.000-07:002009-02-26T17:56:00.000-07:00What beautiful yarn! I adore vests. If you aren't sure you are satisfied with the arm holes then the answer is you are not. I'd rip and reknit.
