Happy New Year! Got the ribbing and about half the body colorword done on the vest. I had to frog quite a bit at one point because I hadn't been doing the increases. I was spitting mad for awhile there but now it's looking good! You can finally see some of the pretty tonal variation in the yellow as well.

Cast on and started the 2x2 ribbing
Turns out it's actually easier to do ribbing in two colors because I'm not constantly having to double check when I'm supposed to be knitting or purling. 2 inches down, 3.5 to go.

Got in the yarns and swatched them up. I'm using KniPicks stroll in black and KnitPicks Hawthorne in Compass Kettle. I'm a little concerned that the yellow is a bit too bright and "Hogwarts Housey," but I do think it will look good if I do some duplicate stitch details in white at the end. The kettle dye yellow should still give some nice variation without being full on rainbow, which I don't think I'd actually wear.
