RE: Top-down cardigan experiment :)
Looks great! And yes, as simple it would be to use an Excel sheet to get the numbers and start to knit - there's more to making a garment than just numbers :) Can't wait to see more of the cardi.
(Though a lot of people would be surprised how much you calculate in needleworking. You not only keep your hands active but your brain, too)
There was another video which showed how to calculate all the proportions (for a standard sized person, that is), but that seemed a bit overloaded to me - too many things to think about, rather than the essentials and then let your mind (and hands) go free.
I keep having a picture in my head of the slipstitch patterns you were using for the hat for your sister - I'd like to adapt some of those. I specially liked the grey/white/black colour scheme.
The hat I just unraveled for the second time? Yes, even after all the troubles with it I still like the colours...
I love cardigans but I hate purling - I think I might consider the steek-technique sometime soon. Though that will probably led to some dreadful moments while cutting the fabric and wondering whether it will hold or not ;)
