Once I had gotten to the end of my second skein, I caked up skeins three and four and worked the armhole edging and the neck edging with skein four. The pattern calls for an I-cord edging on the armholes, and specifies the stitch pick-up ratio, so that was very easy and straight forward. I did go down a needle size for the edgings to a US 6 (4.0 mm). For the neck edging, the pattern called for a 1x1 rib, which I really don’t like, so I decided to maintain the established rib pattern from the body and picked up my stitches accordingly. I worked about an inch and then bound off in pattern. I now get to concentrate on the semi-mindless knitting of the body until I get to the body ribbing. Once again the pattern calls for a 1x1 rib, and once again I will simply continue the established ribbing pattern of the body, and I will probably go down a needle size (US 6) there as well.
