   I love this vest so far. I'm not through a pattern repeat yet, but I love the colors. I've even been pretty good about weaving in the ends as I've gone along. Of course, if you look at my list, I haven't done anything else. Oh well!
   
   Here's a pic of the inside:
   
   
   
   Since you probably can't tell from the picture so far, but it is the Dalmore vest from AS's Celtic Collection. Of course, I've completely changed the color scheme, and used different yarn, and.... but well, it's still the basic pattern. But I must say that I am VERY glad I stole one of my dad's vests to measure... the width is fine (he's pretty skinny), but the length was about 5" short. I knew my dad was tall (about 6 feet), but I had no idea how that translated to vest sizing. So now I know to start the armhole steeks (ahhh!) when the length is about 15.5", not when the pattern says to. And the armholes need to be a little longer. But it should all work out!
