50 rows
Progress continues - I'm just about at the point to set the neck steek. The excitement is never-ending. Taking out the vest and putting it under the sunlight to take a picture made all the specks of colors in the olive yarn really pop...In just one square inch or so of ribbing I can see flecks of red, blue, orange, green, and purple. Pretty cool.
I also found my first actual use for my new kitchen scale (weighing my handspun yarn mindlessly doesn't count).
Deciding I don't have enough yarn to finish the vest. This does double the cost of the project, and I have to pay shipping a second time, but it'll be worth it knowing I definitely won't find myself out of yarn and almost done. If I'd known it was going to come to this, I would have done a bit more ribbing - I stopped a few rows early to preserve a teeny bit of the olive yarn, and although the difference is probably not noticeable, why not do the thing all the way, you know?

I love your vest. I've already bought the pattern and I was thinking of knitting it with some handspun BFL. I was wondering what size you are making and how much yarn you estimate you will need? Also what kind of fiber did you use?
Thanks!
