    Hi, I'm Romi!
    This week, I created this solid granny square vest. Getting these huge granny squares to contour my body was a difficult process, but I'm hapy I did it :)

    Romi, to save yourself time and a lot of extra work you can crochet over your tails of every color change row except for the very last which has to be sewn over. I usually leave myself a little bit longer tail than usual so it gives more stability. This method saves quite a bit of time and hassle from sewing in tons of loose tails.

    • @Showmeromi
      @Showmeromi  3 місяці тому

      Hi, kevin. Thank you! I usually do this, with the exception of the magic loop tail, which i haven't figured out how to neatly tuck away as i go.

    I'm gonna be on your side from the get-go; I've been fully into making garments lately and have like exclusively used cotton and have tried a multitude of different cottons, and WATG Shiny Happy Cotton completely one of my faves!

    This is so cool! I kind of wonder if it would be possible to adapt the pattern to accommodate extra space in parts of the front - not so much a women's version with more room in the chest (I'm sure those patterns exist!), but more how it might be adapted for men with a large gut but not as much fat in the chest or back, since that's relatively common in older men

    • @Showmeromi
      @Showmeromi  2 місяці тому

      You would just have to add two more rows of squares to the front (to keep everything centered) near the sleeve holes. That would widen the sleeves while keeping a similar neckline. I write up a pattern that shows how to adjust square placement for longer and wider bodies, since it can be pretty complicated with diagonals

    Al hacer las mangas, puedes probar terminando con uno o dos puntos deslizados, (en lugar de punto bajo), eso hará que quede más justo al brazo, así lo he hecho también en el cuello de algunos sueters, puedes probarlo y me cuentas :)

    Slightly off topic, but I LOVE working with cotton yarn. I'm using Lion Brand Coboo for a project right now, and it's perfect. Some cottons break down pretty quickly with friction (I have a lanyard that isn't in fabulous condition...) but I still love using it. I say bring on the cotton! Woo!
    Also, I haven't tried linen yarn yet, but I want to. I'd love some testing or recommendations if that's your thing. :)
