these colours remind me of camping in on the coast in Devon and Cornwall, so beach thistle it is.

I finished this while on holiday, so some pics are holiday snaps, taken at L’Anse Aux Meadows and Twillingate, Newfoundland. I’ve included extra pics of the ribbon, buttons and the shoulder join in case they are helpful for anyone.

Notes for anyone else knitting this, as not noted in the pattern. If the size you select has an odd number of pattern repeats then you will need to put in side seams to maintain symmetry of the stranded pattern. I’m normally pretty good about checking these things at the start of projects but was very distracted by, ahem, a series of unfortunate events. I only realised the issue at the beginning of the armpit steeks, which meant I had to put in a series of adjustments in order to ensure the stitching across the shoulders would align. the adjustments affected armhole placement, neckline and breadth across the shoulders.

I did not do the top yarnover buttonhole, my buttons are quite chunky and yarn quite thin so instead repositioned the other buttons.

Trimmings:
Main buttons are Skye Porcelain Buttons on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/SkyePorcelainButtons
Backing buttons are recycled stash.
Ribbon covering steek is from Textile Garden: http://www.textilegarden.com/
