Knitting Olympics Project

I have joined Team Wales for the Knitting Olympics and started knitting my Celtic Knot Vest from Folk Vest by Cheryl Oberle. Since I am knitting a celtic knot design, I thought Team Wales was an appropriate choice for the Knitting Olympics. I want to visit Wales, so I am eligible to be a member of Team Wales. Who knew?
I started knitting my vest yesterday. I cast on 234 stitches in Karabella Majestic, a wool/mohair blend I got from Webs on clearance. The stranded celtic knot pattern is done in Mountain Colors Weaver's Wool in a teal/purple/lime variegated colorway I have had in my stash for a while waiting for the right project. Here's a picture of the book with the vest on the cover.
