Working without a pattern

I am knitting with shetland spindrift and I have finally committed to my colors. I am doing blues and brown. There was something about the pink and brown that was not inspiring me.

I have been using the pink double stranded to make a vest for Bonnie. I am basically just playing around trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. This is exactly what I wanted out of this project. Freedom. I love the soft light almost airy quality of shetland. It makes me brave.

So the idea in my head is to make the back of the vest in brown then pick up from the sides and do horizontal stripping and making a v neck. I will then pick up with brown and make my arm holes. Wish me luck!
