The "Good Grief" CB Vest


I had lots of progress a couple weeks ago on the CB vest. Then I realized a problem.

Great pattern that I made up, but there is very little stretch to the pattern, and the vest is too tight on the waist.

Frog! Frog! AAUGH!

Update

Each item in the list with (Practice) has been knitted for practice. 5 and 6 are not OTN (On the Needle) yet. I want to understand the increases better before trying to knit.

CB has the pattern finished. Just knitting to the sleeves next.

General

Lots of progress on the CB vest.

Got the 3rd swatch done, then went back and checked my directions. Garter? Garter? !? I thought it said use stockinette stitch. Ripped back to the rib, and started knitting again.

Okay.... things to do with cat hair?
