I have finished the front sides and the back to the bottom of the armhole. I have to join the two from sides together by casting on 12 more stitches. And then do the side increases.This is a bit tricky as the moss stitch has to match across. I have fingers and toes crossed
It is HW Celadon. I darken the image a bit to show the pattern.
I would not be this far without all your help :-)

Suzann,
Your sweater looks great! It looks like to me you`ve got it going on now. I can`t wait to see it finished but then I`ll bet you can`t either. lol

That sweater is really pretty! I know that you were having problems with it but I didnt know the pattern as I didnt get the issue that you were discussing. Goodness i`m amazed at how great it is turning out!
I want to see the finished product.

Beautiful pattern, beautiful knitting. Looks like the kind that is hard to put down, just one more row... have to see how THIS cable turns out. Can`t wait to see.

Thank you all for the support. I have joined the two front yokes. I needed to add a stitch to make the moss stitch pattern come out right.

I am taking a class (paid) http://www.needlecraftuniversity.com/index2vF2.htm?parm=classlistk.htm
The pattern is part of the class. I tried it on this morning and wow it fits  I had my doubts. But my row gauge is way off the sample sweater, so I think I will have to do an extra cable round. And the teacher asked me about Highland Wool, cause naturally I gave Elann the credit for a great yarn ;) But she liked the stitch definition. I told her to buy some she would love it.hehehe

That pattern is really pretty, and your knitting looks great! Are you using Denise needles (they look like mine, and my hands love them...)? Like everybody else, I can`t wait to see the finished picture.

Looks great!
When adding a stitch in moss stitch, do the fudging (make 1) at the edge of the pattern, not in the middle. Work out the number of stitches you need for continuing, and get to that number. As long as you read your knitting, you can make the moss stitch come out right, look at a stitch about 5 in from the beginning of a row, decide what you need to do with it, and then count in pattern back to the start of the row. It is much easier to see an inch in than on the first stitch.

Suzann,
Gorgeous and in that nice tranquil lagoon as well! Looks like an ambitious project for first time top-down, and you are doing a fabulous job.
