My FLAK is making good progress. I’ve moved the back to scrap yarn, and I’m picking up stitches for the front. I made a minor change to the pattern here. The instructions call for knitting the right front, then putting it on holders, kitting the left front, putting it on holders, then going back to the right front, and working across it, casting on the center, then working the left. I despise tails (and this thing has about a thousand already, who thought 50 gm balls were a good size for yarn anyway!), so I started on the left, I’ll put the stitches on a holder, knit the right, cast on at the end, then pick up the left and continue on. Should work fine.
I really like the way this is turning out. I can’t wait to finish it up.

Pssst…. Russian join! No ends! Really! There’s a tutorial on my blog, in the “Bustle in your Hedgerow” post, and lots of others elsewhere. No ends! Amen!
Otherwise, loving the cables. Eventually, a cable-intensive sweater will rise to the top of my queue, for myself. Someday…
Russian Join rocks, I agree (oddly, I have a tutorial, too lol) I LOVE how it looks so far. I always wonder why some patterns seem to make things more complicated than they need to be, of course if I had my way, everything would be done in the round, because I despise seaming.
