I'm pleased to report that the Sakiori Vest is coming along splendidly.
Back and shoulder seams have been done, and I am currently working on the side borders. I used a new method for improving my seaming (which I totally hate to do). First, I took a contrasting yarn and made a running stitch up the "seam line" on each piece of the garment. Then, I did a basting stitch back and forth (rather than trying to pin the thing together). Yes, it took a long time (over an hour, at least, for just that one seam), but it was easy to see where to seam, and I was very pleased with the outcome. Pictures to follow.
