My row gauge, while off a bit, has been adjusted to compensate. (I've added some plain rows between the increase rows to lengthen the yoke a bit.) It's working out great, and I love how this sweater is looking. Even unblocked, it drapes beautifully, so I can imagine how nice it will be once washed and blocked. I've got about 6 more rows before I divide for the body and sleeves, and once I get closer to the waist, I'll decide if I want to do some waist shaping. The rib pattern is a K4P1, so around the waist, I may bring it down to a K3P1, if it needs it, then flare it back out again towards the hem.
While Manny the mannequin is modelling here, I did try it on myself, and I believe this could be one of my favourite summer sweaters, if all goes as it has been.
In case you were wondering about the hood - here it is. But I highly doubt I'll be wearing it with the hood up...
I've gotten a little farther on this - watching the Oscars gave me lots of time to knit on it - and have divided the sleeves and the body. After reading Stephanie today, I will see how the neckline behaves - a simple crochet row may be the finishing touch...

Looking very nice. I never see to be attracted to hoodie patterns as I know I will never use the hood part. Silly, eh?
