I finished up most of the wedges yesterday, and finished up the last one this morning and joined the short row section to the right shoulder using a thee needle bind off. Now I just need to work I-Cord edgings on the neck and top part of the short row section and both arm holes. I did some yarn usage calculations this morning, though, and realized that I am not going to make the yarn usage requirement for the August Camp Loopy project. I've only used 590 yards, and the requirement is 800 yards. I don't think that I-cord will make up that difference. I had some concerns regarding the yarn usage after I finished up the back, and as I started working the wedges I did some quick calculations and realized I was in trouble, so I did another pattern search, limiting the results to patterns that I already own and found another project, Lilium, by Amy Herzog, from the Spring/Summer 2013 Twist Collective. I've bought a lot of Twist Collective patterns, but haven't made any yet. I picked Shalimar Yarns Breathless DK in the color Corfu. The irony is that both of my other Camp Loopy projects used a lot more yarn than required.
If I make it with another project, I make it. I'm not going to get stressed about it. If it hadn't been for Camp Loopy I might not have found this cool vest, or used Shalimar Yarns Enzo Sport - a very nice yarn to work with.
