doggone vest

Slowly but surely my vest is coming along. I'm just now about to start the rows with the steeks. It's really addictive and gratifying. My seam area (especially where the color changes occur) is kind of lumpy. I'm hoping blocking will reduce some of that unevenness.


I wish I could figure out how to post these images side by side so you could see how I'm doing my colors. The panel directly below is based on Dean-O's coloring, and the one at the bottom is trying to capture Cecil's mottled color on his shoulders. The band of color I'm about to begin will have a dark ground with lighter design motifs. We'll see how it goes. I'm prepared to do some ripping out if it doesn't look good.




I love my dogs and I'm loving this vest.
