Garter Yoke Cardigan

P1050725

The beginning:
I have dyed up 1250 yds of worsted wt. wool.  Shades of green, lots of khaki and olive with a touch of blue.  Not as blue as it looks in the picture.  Already I've made two changes to the pattern.  I wanted my neck to be a bit smaller so I went down three needle sizes for the first 5 rows.  The button holes will be bigger, instead of a k2tog, yo, one stitch version, I've changed it to a two stitch buttonhole.  There will be five buttons, and they will be bigger.  I think I have my buttons.  Wouldn't that be nice.
