Just started

Hey there! I just cast on a few days ago with the cascade 220 tweed the pattern suggests. The yarn is lovely, so soft and springy for 100% wool. I've decided to make a size inbetween the small and the medium, as have other fellow KAL-ers done. I've found it to knit up pretty quick but I've hit a bit of a wall the last day or two because I've had to experiment around where you create the armholes so as I don't cut off circulation to my arms. Did anyone else have to increase their rows before they created the arms and if so by how much? I think I'm going to have to add about 3 pattern repeats! It sounds like a lot but then again I am a tight knitter so my rows may be off. Here are some progress shots...

Forecast Pie!

I'm almost to the armhole division in this picture, but I kept knitting before I posted this and I'm past it now!
This knit is really moving along especially now that I learned to knit backwards and don't have to flip the whole schebang over for the bobbles.
I'm really looking forward to getting some great work on this project this weekend...
Have a great weekend everyone!
