Braids cardigan update

[celticdragonfly]

As I posted before, I'm working on the braids cardigan for myself.

And I'm very excited - I've gotten to 13 inches of the body. See that horizontal line where the bottom of the sleeve comes into the underarm? Working from the bottom up, I've gotten to that height.

Now I get to stop doing 292 stitch rows alllllll the way across and back, and get to divide it up and start working on front and back yokes, more interesting stuff.

So far this project has been... 84 rows, 24,528 stitches. Not counting casting on. I started swatching for this in the evening of Sunday, Feb. 19th. I feel like I've made a lot of progress.

I'm *going* to get this thing made and completed.

Oh dear. This pattern does not tell you what size button to use. Nor how many. Heck, it says "...Buttonhole Row: Knit up the right front as many buttonholes as you need, using your favorite buttonhole;..." Oh dear. I suppose I'll figure something out.

I am SO impressed!

That is going to be lovely! You can choose any buttonhole you like. I did a search, and found http://knitting.about.com/library/weekly/aa123100.htm, which discusses and shows you how to do a number of methods.

As a seamstress, I remind you to put one buttonhole at the widest bust measurement, then space the rest of the buttonholes at a pleasing distance for your eyes.
