BAH!
So I finished and blocked the Argyle Vest (designed by the amazingly talented Eunny Jang). I started this back in November or so, but it hung from a doorknob in one of my many knitting bags for several months due to both lack of time and my nervousness about steeks. (I figured that undertaking was best saved until I had a significant amount of time to dedicate to it). Turns out the steeking was easy and somewhat fun! As the project progressed, I originally feared it would be too snug in the belly region...that actually came out perfectly! However, it is way too big in the shoulder area, as you can see in the photos below (I don't own a digital camera so forgive the crappy camera phone pics...):
I seem to have two options. 1) Rip out all the ribbing around the neck and shoulders (approx two days worth of work), undo the shoulder seams, take it up, and then redo the ribbing, or 2) seam it up via sewing machine
Any advice!?

As much as it will suck, I don't think you'll be happy unless you rip it out. Looks great though!!
Yeah, I tried seaming with the sewing machine (figuring if it didn't work, it would be easy to undo and then rip out ribbing). The ribbing in the back came out a little funny...so after a beer I ripped out the ribbing. I'm going to have to machine sew the shoulders so I can cut off the extra (there is a lot), and then add the ribbing again.
But I've turned my attention temporarially to a project that's pissing me off less (and more wearable this time of year).
