A little while ago I ripped out the progress I had made on my Deep V Argyle Vest. It was painful, but as soon as I cast on for the larger size, all regrets faded as I soon saw that this *new* vest was exactly the right fit. I've been knitting on it any chance I get - in an effort to at least get it to where it was pre-rip & I have:



But now I'm all like "meh!" about the colours - I'm thinking they're a little much. I can't stop thinking about how nice this vest would look in tweedy oatmeal & brown...or in a pastel blue & heather grey. And here's mine - all in your face & "WHOAH! look at ME! I'm a bright blue vest!" Should I rip it out? Should I order different yarn? (maybe this time finding one with the correct gauge?) Am I being too critical? I guess it's not like I couldn't knit this a second time in a different colour combo.

I need these circulars for my Orangina - I'm done the front, have cast on for the back, and then I'll need the circs for the bottom ribbing. So I guess I should make up my mind soon.

Good thing I have my squirelly swedish mittens to look at & admire when I get nervous about my vest:
So far, I think these are my favourite thing I've knit - I'm super happy with the colours of the trekking, I love love love the little squirrels & I love how there's all this detail in such a little thing. These are mine. I missed one row of tree branches, but I can go back after & do a cheater fix-up.

Alright - this vest business. I need advice.
