Here are a couple of photos of the WIP Rebecca plaited cable cotton polo sweater that I mentioned last week.
Here's what makes me nervous: negative ease. It was apparent from the original pattern that it was intended to have negative ease. Other than the two cable panels on the front and back, it's all 1x1 rib, so it's very stretchy. And I do like my sweaters with very little ease, generally. But I'm still nervous ...
I really, really like this yarn, Debbie Bliss Cotton Denim Aran. Soft and fun to work with, and it doesn't hurt my hands the way working other cottons has.
I think I'll do the front and back at the same time, three-needle bind off the shoulders, and then do the sleeves top down. It looks to me like the plaited cable is the same right side up and upside down, so doing it top down will only require calculating the sleeve decrease rate.
