Here's the progress so far of the vest, just over half-way through the first repeat.
Today I timed myself, just to see what kind of rate I sustain. I played a 48 minute CD and I did 4.5 rows at 330 stitches per row. 1485 stitches (roughly) or about 31 stitches a minute as a sustained average rate. Not record-breaking, but I think it's respectable, considering I stop to flex my fingers every now and then and also to stare admiringly at the work in progress.
Here's the close-up shot:

This is turning out absolutely gorgeous! I like the new pink much better than the old. What a stunning pattern-great ribbing!
That's really beautiful! I love the color choices you settled on.
it is so beautiful. the colours turned out superb
That is looking AMAZING! I can't wait to see the pattern progress!
Wow. You are my fair isle (or any style requiring that much strandwork) idol. I'm not yet that advanced/able to focus that long (not sure which!) yet!
Wow. I wasn't feelin' the love on your initial swatches, but now that I see more of it at once, I can see why you chose those colors!
Can't wait to see it as an F.O....
What an enjoyable 48 minutes that proved to be. I need to take a lesson: put on the cd, shut the door, and knit.
That's gorgeous. I can't wait to see the finished object.
I LOVE it.
Seriously beautiful.
I can't wait to see it in it's full glory!
And, I really do love the colors you've picked!
I love the colors and the patterns. Just beautiful! I have never knit anything like that and I would like to try at some point! Just beautiful. I just love the earth colors.....
Wow, that looks beautiful. It's hard to compare seeing it in person to a picture but, it seems more complex. The little bit of green and purple make a big difference!
I'm always impressed with your colorwork. You do such a great job. Weekend knitting ahead!
Love it! Great work so far! :)
God that's gorgeous.
31 stitches per minute is nothing to scoff at for fair isle. You make yourself sound downright normal. THAT - you are not. You are a knitting bad-ass!
It looks gorgeous!
GORGEOUS! You speed demon!
