Well, last week I blogged that I was having some question about the tension on my Oriole vest. It was really bothering me, so I did go ahead and take it off the needles to start over. In doing so, I discovered that my tension had loosened up a bit as I'd gone on, and while the fair isle looked flatter, the vest was also growing in width. Frustrating! So, I frogged the whole thing and spent a lot of time pondering the pattern (which has so many mathematical errors that it makes me want to scream) to decide how to compensate.
I also decided to change the colors - tone them down a bit. I'll post pictures of the original colorway and the new one later this week.
