3/3/12:
Got crossed eye after seeing that one need to k5tog! to make the Nupp for the front panel bobble. This what I did:

  • Using knitted cast on, CO 3, k4, pass the 3 sts (on right needle) one at a time over the 1st st --> 4th, 3rd, 2nd over the 1st.

Worked up to inc for front neckline, and the instructions after CO for neckline just got really confusing for me. So this is what I did:

  • With RS facing, join to work in round
  • k2, place color 3 marker (to mark front panel pattern), k to next raglan marker (change to another color to mark THIS as the begin of round)
  • k to last raglan marker, k14, place color 3 marker
  • start row 1 of Cable & Bobble Pattern, knit to 1 st before beg marker
  • work inc round - M1R, k2, M1L, work sleeve patt, M1R, k2, M1L, k to next sleeve marker, M1R, k2, M1L, work sleeve patt, M1R, k2, M1L, k to color 3 marker, work Cable & Bobble Pattern, k to end
  • work 1 round even - knit to 1 sts before beg
  • Rep work inc round and work 1 round even till 288 sts

Yes! Yes! Yes! Almost done! one more sleeve to go. Will definitely finish it later!
Omitted waist & hip shaping because I forgot to start dec. for waist! Oooopsie!!! It was not till halfway down the body section that I checked pattern and realize waist shaping dec have to start after the 4 rounds even after joining. Triple DUH to self for not reading (I skimmed through, should have read line by line! :P) pattern!
Switch to 4mm for rib border.
