It’s Furious Balancing

I’ve been slogging along on the Back-to-School U-Neck Vest from Fitted Knits. I’m actually progressing through it fairly quickly, so slogging is not the most apt word to describe what I’m doing. Maybe I’m actually knitting. Really knitting, like with darts and shaping and everything! Who’d a thunk it?

I am, however, a crappy photographer and a crappy Paint Shop Pro user. /sigh

Click here to go see a larger picture, but I don’t think it improves much. I have been spending the last hour trying to get the text to wrap and make this look halfway decent on the page layout.  No dice.  If I upload this via “add media” in WordPress, there’s no way to remove the vest picture from the gallery with Chrissy’s pictures below (unless I delete the vest picture entirely) .  If I link to my uploaded image on Flickr, there’s no way to get the text to wrap since you have to “add media” to get the text wrap feature to work.

The orange markers are for the bust darts (which are somewhat visible), but it’s hard to envision the finished project unless you look at it on a real person. ¹

I should be able to model it in the near future — depending on how much Cat Help I get. I’ve been picking cat hair out of this project for a while now. Predominantly brown cat hair with black ticking.

Who could that possibly be?

Christopher looks much better than the vest when you enlarge his pictures. More photogenic, he tells me.
