Several comments mention your advice on how to eliminate puckering but I don't see it. Please post again. I can use the advice. Thanks

When you mention that you worked in Rows NOT rounds, do you mean that you DID NOT steek? I would to prefer to not knit in rounds.

Yes, I did not steek. There are not many patterning rows and patterning is symmetrical, so it is easy to work it back and forth.

I'd love to try this (have made fair isle knitted jumpers in the past) but knit 'left-handed'(stitches from right needle on to left one). How would this affect my taking this class please? Annie

Brilliant idea ! I don't care for the puckering that can occur with yoked sweaters so was thinking about how to minimize it and I really like your suggestion. I also like your choice of using only 2 colors. I was considering using 3 colors by adding the third color in rows 24-26 under the first motif but I think my first one will be 2 colors like yours. It will definitely be difficult to choose !
