I have finished Pioneer! It is lovely, and whilst quite a lot more revealing than I'd hoped for, actually looks quite sweet over a vest top.
I actually had a bit of an accident casting off the main body - instead of using a good lace castoff (k1 *k1 ssk*) I did some sort of variation on knit two together, it was only until i was in bed that i realised what I'd done wrong, so whilst watching an episode of "Girls of the Playboy Mansion" I undone and re-cast-off. Now I can get it on over my head!
Even though most of the detail is on the back and sleeves (which everyone else can see because I'm not so tall) The Sleeve edges and bottom edge are knit in double moss-stitch, which i hate knitting but like the fact that it breaks up the rather plain front.
I won't win any awards for my crochet however, as for the life of me all those crochet stitches it listed looked completely the same and so i just crocheted 5-stitch chains and joined them to each stitch on the neckline. It sort of folds inwards, but to be honest it doesn't look that bad.
