Ravelympics - change in plans already

It is only day 4 and I've already changed my plans. I'm still going to make Pretty Thing, but I've changed the yarn I'm using. I was really looking forward to using the Baby Alpaca I got but I will have to find something else that that wants to be. I think maybe the Alpine Scarf from Interweave Crochet... I'll have to swatch and see. That is most frustrating part of this whole thing is that I did swatch and thought it looked good, however once I got the pattern going I didn't like it. I'm going to swatch with the hemp I have in my stash tonight and see what that looks like.

Progress that will be frogged tonight:


Now on to the vest:


I still have yet to pick up the needles on this one, but I will, I will.
