The vest (made with Tallinn yarn) is finally done and it looks quite nice, doesn't it? Just a note - I noticed after uploading the picture that it is the back side, but that doesn't matter much since the only difference with the front side is that the neck is a bit deeper, that's all.

But it is wrong! If we look at the same vest again but with a "sampler" we'll notice that the vest that was supposed to be small and tight is actually more of the order of "made for a whale". Yeah, the rib part got me on the wrong track (it seemed small) and the stockinette after that managed to get the thing out of shape. There's about three sentimeters extra on both sides. Apparently I think I'm bigger than I actually am.

But now what? I think I have three options, the one of which (rib-it) is not really an option for me so which one is better then: 1) use the sewing machine and make side-seams 2) make a swatch, test how it felts and maybe felt the whole vest? Any opinions/experience?

Ja tässä esitteillä tämän vuoden paras kampaukseni. Yritin saada hienoa punasävyä mukaan kuvaan mutta ei se nyt ihan onnistunut. Saas nähdä, tämän ei kuulemma pitäisi muuttua vaaleanpunaiseksi koska kyseessä on tavallinen kestoväri eikä mikään hapettimella ryyditetty raitaväri. Tosin ei sen noin kirkkaaksi olisi pitänyt tulla, joten taidan olla vielä vähän epäilevällä kannalla kun hiukseni taitavat olla vähän omapäiset.

And here's the best haircut of the year. I tried to get the lovely red areas into picture but I didn't quite succeed. We'll see what happens, but I'm told this shouldn't turn pink because its made with normal permanent colours and not with stripe colours with oxidizers. But then again it shouldn't have been that bright so maybe I'll see what happens since my hair seems to have a mind of its own.
