Tam o'Shanter

I've been enjoying myself playing with fair isle patterns and colours when I should have been doing all sorts of other more useful things. This is a reasonably accurate representation of the colours (pre-blocking):

Here's the 'wheel' blocking (but the colours are too washed-out):

Here's the whole thing.
 

My blocking set-up is a bit precarious (plate balanced on vase):

Love it! I use a plate and balance it on a pan - and put it in the bedroom out of the way so I dodn't knock it over.

Colours look good together, did you use a pattern, or just select various fairisle patterns and use a basic tam pattern?

Please don't tell me you worked out all the tension/decreasings yourself as well as the patterns.....
