38" size Errata?

I started the sweater a couple of weeks ago and I'm still working on the body. But last night I was reading ahead in the pattern, excited about getting to the cabled yoke. I'm knitting the 38" size and noticed a couple of numbers that didn't work out for me. When beginning the neckband with the size 4 needle, there should be 110 stitches. But then the pattern asks you to pick up and knit 112 stitches from the purl bumps. Both of these sets of stitches need to be the same number if you're going to use a 3-needle bind off. This only seems to be an issue for the 38" size.

Has anyone made this size and could tell me if they found a problem with the numbers?

Thanks!

Ease

Katie posted a question about ease on a recent post. I'm responding in a new post because I think this may be helpful for everyone. Eunny Jang recently responded to a similar question about ease for the Tangled Yoke cardigan on Ravelry:

"I think the model had only an inch or so of ease in the pictured sweater - but I think this sweater would look fine with a couple more inches of ease as well. It's not very dramatically shaped - part of that is the illusion created by how deep the ribbing is. Instant waistline! The ribbing is a garter rib, too, which is less binding than a regular rib, so that stealthy fake waistline doesn't come at the expense of being able to draw a deep breath."

Started and Addicted

I started working on this pattern last Friday and have had a hard time working on anything else. I'm using Classic Elite Classic Silk in a rust colorway.

Can't wait to see how it progresses. It's a great knit so far.

After getting Claudia's stellar instructions, I can add a photo. I have about 2" before I put this all together and start knitting the yoke.

One Sleeve Done...

Although (or perhaps because) sleeves bore the crap out of me, I'm really glad to be getting them out of the way first. This may become policy for future sweaters... we shall see.

As predicted, I had to add a bunch of plain rows at the top of the sleeve (I worked 30 instead of 17), and I'm still glad the stitches are held instead of bound off in case I need more. Oy. But I love the Silky Wool. It works up like woolly tree bark, and yet it's so light! Awesome.

Administrative Update

First of all, welcome to all you new members. More and more people are signing up each day and I'm excited by the prospect of much discussion.

Second, the sidebar with links to all your blogs and journals is on its way. Life intrudes, but the linkage should be up-and-running shortly.

In the mean time, I'm enjoying all your posts and looking forward to reading more! Tangle on!

Progress so far

I've completed the body up to the sleeve openings and just have a couple more inches on the sleeves before I can put it all together. Can hardly wait to start on that gorgeous cable! You can see my progress at:

The Carbon Felted Tweed looks very much like my Whisper.
