Hey yall,

        So the test sweater i guess has been back burnered for the mean time and I started working on the Alvin vest from the first pattern book I bought. So far I got the full back panel done. Started with the bottom ribbing by hand then worked it the full way up on the knitting machine. Now I'm just doing the neck and armhole ribbing by hand. I got the neck part done, it was alil rough on my hands but it got done. The armholes seem to be alil tricky cause u have to pick up stitches, which I wasn't sure on how to do so I had to watch some videos online to see what i'm doing wrong. So now I know what I wasn't doing so i can go back and finish off these armhole ribs and then knit up the front bottom ribbing and start getting this piece together.
