The pattern is every bit as beautiful as it looks on line. I have some lovely yarn that I'm working with and my vest should be exquisite when I have finished. All pattern instructions are clear and precise and I'm having no trouble in understanding it.Incidentally, the patterns arrived here by post in very good time and condition.
