I love the colours of the yarn and I think my choice of Fair isle patterns really works well. The yarn is perfect for the project. It is Rowan's Scottish Tweed 4 ply - a little on the rough side to wear next to the skin but ideal for wearing over blouses or tees. The roughness gives the vest a rustic quality that is reminiscent of the 1940s landgirls.

It would work equally well as a casual top or for smarter occasions. .JPG)
The pattern will follow - in the twinkling of an eye!
Congratulations, what a wonderful vest. I really like it, but it seems difficult to knit. You must be very handy. I have found so many fantastic things in your blog. This week I have tried the bees and I love them.
