The pattern looks neat! Sounds like you have a firm grasp on the method, as well.
What I totally don't understand is why they suggest 40" circulars. The *only* time I've *EVER* needed anything bigger than 24" circulars was when I was working on a super-bulky sweater that I was knitting in the round, and the 24" ones kept the stitches squished toooo close together.
Given that the front and back are worked flat, I can't see why you need 40" circulars at all. But that's just me.
Anyway - good luck with the project! Sounds like it's off to a good start.
