The front is finished! Tomorrow I'll have to join a shoulder seam and see if I can get the neckband done.
I've sorted through more patterns, found more I like, and one I love but which is too big and can't easily be size-adjusted because the pattern panels are too wide and there's nowhere I can remove stitches. I like the stitch used though, so at some point I might make a sweater using it in three panels interspersed with cables. (The original has 5 pattern panels. There really needs to be a central one, it wouldn't look right with 4). Anyway, that's a future project, there are other things to be knitted first.
