I worked a little on the vest last night - the ribbing is about 9'' now laid flat, which I thought was getting close to done. I tried it on and I was amazed that it only measured about 5.5'' on my body. It stretched out way more than I anticipated. I'm really glad I decided to measure it this way or I would have ended up with an idiotic crop top vest.
In other news, I think I'm getting sick. This is not a good weekend to be sick. On the plus side, however, sick days mean knit days! Do you think my note editor would let me turn it in late if the late paper is accompanied by a lovely scarf? ha ha. Unlikely.
