Mica that Vest is lovely - what a lot of work in it. I haven’t done any Swiss darning as tend to stick to intarsia or fair isle but intarsia is not really possible when knitting in the round so now you have enthused me to try this.
Several years ago I knitted a jersey with a giraffe on for nephew who lives in Venice. I didn’t realise that the giraffe is the mascot for an island in the Venetian lagoon which the locals are trying to save and his father is very involved with. Apparently at some stage in the past a giraffe was given to a Duke and he kept it on the little island of Poveglia. I don’t think it lasted there very long though.
