Gah! What on earth possessed me to pick this pattern to knit?
I have three separate charts to work from for the pattern panels, two of 32 rows each, one of 16 rows. Two are cable patterns, the other is a travelling lace pattern that's easy to mess up. On top of that there's the bramble or blackberry stitch. The sweater is mostly symmetrical which means each pattern is repeated twice, so I'm working chart 2, chart 3, blackberry stitch, chart 4 twice, blackberry stitch, chart 3, chart 2 (For some unknown reason there's no chart 1).
I would have liked to reverse the lace pattern so the two sides mirrored each other, but my brain couldn't figure it out backwards from the chart and I didn't want to fiddle trying to draw a reverse copy. Too much like hard work.
Anyway, I've managed 10 rows so the pattern is set if I can just follow the charts and not screw anything up. *sigh*

Glutton for punishment, that's me!
