i finished my super bulky vest!!

my first knitted garment!!

:awesome: :ball_of_yarn: :ball_of_yarn: :ball_of_yarn:

+ it fits!
+ i made it!
+ i love the soft yarn.
+ the buttonband worked out!
+ it just took me ~ 6 weeks!
+ it gives me a great powerful feeling to wear a handknit garment.

- the buttonholes are a bit too big.
- i messed up the row gauge and it became much longer after washing than i expected it to.
- the yarn is handwash only.
- i made waistshaping which I'm not going to do in the future
- the hip-part of the vest definitely triggers body dysphoria.

okay, and here are pictures of me wearing the vest. :blobowo:

grey hooded vest on a short, nonbinary person, standing in a room that is a little messy. the face is blocked out by a frog sticker.

@knittingsquirrel UN-GLAUB-LICH!!! Sieht total toll aus, finde ich. Tatsächlich erinnerts mich sehr an eine Lieblingsstrickjacke von mir.
