Notes

I eliminated the intarsia bow (and any colour changes) and made the sleeves longer. I used less than 8 balls.

I started the sleeves with a tubular cast on and knit them in the round (after the fourth row). At the sleeve cap, I knit flat (still using dpns until the cap was no longer rounded).
I knit the body pieces (not including ribbing at the bottom) on an old knitting machine (that just does stockinette). I had to rip a few times to get the row counts right.
I joined the pieces and picked up the provisional cast on at the bottom to make the ribbing. I did the neck and front bands as directed. I had trouble getting the buttonholes to look nice at first and that kept me from finishing for a while. I persevered and the sweater is finished and has been worn several times.
