Thank you Kay for the article with the Trellis Tips. Thanks to your encouragement to use many markers, I have finally established the first 8 rows! Hooray!!
Now I am stumped because I decided to add 8 stitches to may cast-on. I’m trying to figure out where best to add those into the 2nd set up row and not throw off the lattice pattern.
I feel like my brain is starting to cramp!
If any of you added extra stitches, please advise how to proceed on Row 17.
Thanks!!
Great job!!!
Wonderful job!
Really nice!
Very, very & very nice! 
It is starting to grow! Love the stitch definition. Enjoyed the article The Switcheroo: on Nua Sport & Felted Tweed.
I had some trouble with the second set-up row getting the count right with the 8 stitch stockinette stitches; didn’t quite understand. After seeing the pictures the light bulb went off & I got it. I believe in stitch markers & lifelines. I took the lifeline out for the photo op but it is going right back in.
Enjoying my first MDK project.
So I am coming to the end of the back and just want to check with you all on a few things:
End with a right side row
Then bind off in purl on the wrong side
Does “last row worked in FLP” mean to knit another row?
I did not add any extra stitches like you describe, but if I did, I’d consider putting them in the center stockingnet section and have that one be 16 stitches with the rest staying at 8.
We are knitting the back right shoulder, binding off the neck and knitting the left shoulder, leaving the stitches ‘live’. We are supposed to note the number of the last row worked in FLP so we can match the last row for the front shoulders and do 3-needle bind off. At least that’s how I’m reading it.
Oh, thank you. I totally did not get that but now I see that direction at the end of the Front for ending on the same row of FLP as on the Back. 
Glad that helped. I had to read ahead to get that, I wanted to know ‘why?’.
Hope I am not the only one that keeps forgetting to just knit the 8 stitches but does the pattern instead?! I am doing it less so that is progress LOL and fix it on my next row. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll stop doing it by the time I get the back finished. 
I put a different color marker for the stockinette sections to fine my brain a reminder that there was a change coming.
I put a double marker before and after so if I miss it on first one, I would catch by second. Glad you could fix on next row. Yikes, I haven’t learned how to do that yet. Looking great!!
Looks great! I have 6 antique buttons I want to use and it looks like you only used 3 on each side - omitting the lowest button loop? I’m just finishing the front and will start soon on the I cord.
Six buttons are all you need. Antique buttons should look beautiful! Be sure to post a picture.
Almost ready for buttons. Going through my grandmother’s button box but I don’t have 8 of any single one. May do a mix and match. 
For those of you who have finished this… I’m about halfway up the back, and the bottom (cast on) edge is rolling up quite a bit. Should I be worried? Or will the attached i-cord give it enough weight that it won’t roll when it’s finished?
