From this perspective, it doesn't look so bad . . . with it sitting in my lap, or peering down at it, my eyes all squinty, and my lips pursed in concentration, it looks like poo.
And I feel like poo when I knit it - it's exhausting! Adding that extra color to the row just throws things into a tizzy - a big, twisted muckety muck. I sort of have a sytem of throwing my yarn, and I say sort of, because I have to really think about it - it doesn't come naturally at all, and I can't seen to find a production machine-like rhythm that I usually have when I knit.
But, I will perservere! Our next class is April 24th, and I hope to get to the armholes so that Lisa can show me how to put the steek in.

Looks Great!
I'm glad you are going to keep working on it, because I can't wait to see how it looks once finished - I really like it!
All your knitting projects are FABULOUS! I think this one will be too.
Someday I would like to advance to complex knitting like that.
It looks so good! I think it'll be totally worth all the twisting when you finish it.
I agree with Knitting Novice. It looks great! Remember, people will not be looking at it bunched up on your lap all squinty.
I don't think it looks like poo! I do agree with you that it is going to be an extra warm vest. Good thing there are no arms!
You are making great progress. I think you'll make your goal by April. Good luck!
I think its beautiful. Very intricate - hard work but wonderful. Good for you.
