Steeked
Today I finished the knitting for my Sorta-Deep V Argyle Vest, and it was ready for steeking!
Since the crochet-reinforcement option did not work so well with superwash wool, I went ahead with a machine-reinforced steek. It's hard to see the machine stitches here because the teal thread matches the yarn so well.
After I cut it apart (David even helped a little bit), I connected the shoulders and tried it on. Whew, it fit.
I've started on the neckline ribbing, and I hope I'll be able to have it all finished up soon!
Wow looking good!

Yay, I'm glad the steeking worked out and it fits! I can't wait to see it all finished up.

Wow, you don't sound scared about steeking at all! It's amazing to see how the v-neck opens right up like that--very cool before and after photos.
