I think you've suggested highlighter tape to me before when I first started working with charts a few years ago. Still a very good idea, especially with this one. I have trouble figuring out what to do with those bold (in this case bold RED) lines down the left side of the chart. They always blow my mind. But after really looking at the chart, and reading the comments below, I believe I understand what she wants on the chart. Do the right to left all the way across, and then start at the red line and knit left to right so those few stitches between the red line and the left side of the chart only get worked once. Like I say, charts are not my friends, hee he.
I agree with you on the sleeve. Actually, I was thinking about this over the weekend and have decided, I don't want a hood covering up all my hard work if the tree goes on the back. And since I don't really enjoy sewing up knitted seams, I was thinking of doing the body all in one piece working the chart on the back. Then working the front bands around the whole neck edge and just not doing a hood. Maybe doing the sleeves from the cap down and then the cuff bands sort of like I'm doing the shawl knitted bind off I'm working on now. Hope that made some kind of sense.
