Update

Just wanted to add a few photos on the progress of my Tangled Yoke. I'm using Knit Picks Swish DK in Moss and absolutely LOVE the color. I haven't gotten too far...its not that I'm not a fast knitter, but being this is my first cardigan I'm constantly referring back to the pattern and correcting mistakes :-/ plus I've been traveling a lot for work and have had a lot of personal engagements to attend to! Anyway, here they are:

Hi everyone

I've just joined the KAL & wanted to say hello.I've finally got my copy of IK & am just waiting for my yarn to arrive. Hopefully I can get gauge with this yarn & get started.

My Yoke

Here’s my progress on the Tangled Yoke Cardigan. Instead of starting from the bottom up, I started at the yoke area with a provisional cast on. Later, I’ll pick up there and knit down so I can adjust it to fit. More info on my blog here if you are curious as to why I'm doing it this way. The blue line is just a lifeline, because I'm altering the neck a bit, and will come out later.

help, please

The yoke directions are a bit scary for me. Here's what it says,

"Return held sts for right sleeve to needle with RS facing" - which needle? the right one or the left? Which held sts? the 19 sts or the 60? Do you knit these held sts onto the needle or just place them on?
"Knit next st of right front tog with first right-sleeve st as k2tog" I guess this depends on the answer to my first question(s). Actually, I hope the whole thing will clear up with these answers.

TIA!

Flying through with a Whining Wrist

I've decided to jump, head-first, into this one. It's such a beautiful pattern, I couldn't resist!

As is my usual MO, I plan on modding this sweetie. First off, I decided to use a stash-yarn, which unfortunate is going to prove a gamble: I have 10 skeins of Jamieson's DK in Port Wine (a lovely colour!) which only amounts to 1075 metres of yarny goodness.
With this in mind, I've decided to shorten the sleeves, probably to just above the elbow.

Also, as I was working along, I noticed my row count is abnormally high! I hope this means I won't use up as much yarn.

I've also nipped in the waist a bit, (once again, in a desperate attempt to save some for what I imagine will be a yarn-gobbling yoke and tedious ribbed edging).

Now, off to knit. I do have one nagging problem - what colour buttons to buy? Any suggestions? I think it may be tricky to match the purple. Would a pearly white be too stark a contrast? How about slate grey?
Thanks!

Tangled Yoke Pullover Update

I've now reached the point in the body where it's time to join the sleeves -- after I knit them, of course. I've just started the first one. As I said earlier, I'm making this into a pullover, not a cardigan.

Here's a progress shot.

Finished!

Finished and blocked my cardi and am delighted with it. Found the perfect buttons, but they only had six so had to special order.
