So, here is the finished item, not only finished but also worn several times. I used a range of colours in Haworth Tweed, but not the cream or the colour sequence used in the actual pattern.
Some oddities in the pattern leaflet: Discussing the merits of cotton blend yarn - this is Merino and Nylon. Giving handy tips about intarsia. At first you think, stripes such as this do not involve intarsia. Right at the end you realise that there is a tiny bit of colour change to make the front band match the neckband. I suppose that is intarsia.
I was really please with how the stripes match across upper body and sleeves now - something the designer did not attempt.
I'm now working on another design in the same yarn which also has its oddities. I guess I have just got used to making it up as I go along.
Do pop over to my other blog: Coggeshall Chronicles.blogspot.com where I have reached 1891 in the census returns, but also locate some really interesting individuals who once lived in my street.
