New Project Swing-like Vest

Here is my newest knitting undertaking. I am heavily modifying the pattern as usual - taking off the granny square edging at the bottom - increasing the length of the vest and if I have enough yarn adding sleeves. Oh yeah, and I want to use German short rows and some unusual variegated sock yarn.  Here is the button band.

And here are a few of the short rows added to the front left panel of the vest. So far - not too bad!
