I've been reading your blog on and off, since the fist sweater. A lot of fun stuff. And, now I have something to add. I just finished my Cafe Bastille sweater, and I have a tip for you: The pattern says that after you divide for the shoulders (putting the neck stitches on the holder) to work 3 rows even, then bind off. I did it that way for all four shoulders, but when it got down to sewing the shoulders together, I didn't like it. I ripped it all out and started over. Do four rows in pattern (remember, 1 row is the first one across, then the 3 rows even), and place them on a holder (don't bind off). When it comes down to attaching the shoulders, you can just weave them together with a grafting stitch. Everything else is straight forward. The sweater came out great. I hope this helps.
