Time travelling

 There's a new book that was released today, and I have a pattern in it!

Outlander Knits book cover

This is "Outlander Knitting: The official book of 20 knits inspired by the hit series", edited by Kate Atherley. My contribution was a reproduction of this fair isle vest, worn by Frank in a fantasy sequence from the end of Season One's "The Way Out":

It's called "The Man I Left Behind", and it's a traditional fair isle slipover, steeks and all:

Yeah, I did a lot of squinting to try and get the chart right. :)

Fun extra image of my husband, who was a very good sport as I attempted to recreate the original scene from the series:

Available at quality bookshops and probably quite a fair few LYSes!

I guess there's something missing in the book, because it doesn't tell you how many rounds of ribbing you should knit at the bottom of the vest. Could you tell me how many you knit?
