[Knitting] Cody's Fair Isle Vest, Finished but for finishing. :)

	Holding stitches on the arm I hate that these photos are so blurry; it's the iPhone not being a great camera again. Anyway, here's how you put the pick-up stitches on needles before cutting the armhole steek.
	Finished armhole With some 1x1 ribbing, here is the completed arm. On a human, I'd probably shape the arms a bit. In fact, I may make another with shaped arms, possibly for Cody and possibly for a ball jointed doll.
	Both arms completed Yeah, I definitely want to shape the armholes a bit next time. If they'd just come in 3-4 stitches, the whole line of the vest would be smoother.
	V-neck steek cut! With pick-up stitches on holding needles, the v-neck begins to come into focus. The patterning looks a little better but is still not perfect. I'll be more careful with this calculation next time.
	Completed except for finishing Tomorrow, I'll tack down the steek seams (after trimming them) and weave in the end. Then, you'll see a photo of Cody wearing his new vest. :)

I still don't really 'get' how, when you cut the steeks, the whole thing doesn't utterly unravel. I've tried steeking before, but never had any great success. Of course, I was trying to teach it to myself out of books, which for some techniques just doesn't work.
