Here it is! I wore this for the first time to our knitting group.

The jacket hides the bulkiness around the middle. Of the vest, not me.

Next time I make this vest (assuming I do), I think I'll try to make it more fitted at the bottom. i'd also like to increase the ribbing width, just as a fashion sort of thing.

I cut out the stupid expression on my face. Another thing about this pattern was that the instructions for the ribbing around the neck were wrong. At least, if I'd followed the instructions, the ribbing would not have matched the photos in the book.

Altogether, I'm happy with it. I'll get my colorwork hat up here soon. And another fun project.
