I love the way I disappear when I am knitting ... the yarn and I become the same ... i think that's when it becomes neat because everything is working in harmony. It's the idea of flow?
Anyway, on a more pragmatic level, you are right, it is increases not decreases :) I have corrected!
I'm glad you like the cardigan, I'm thrilled with it, it is an expression of me and people can tell that when I am wearing it. I think I must learn continental/combination style so I can swap, my hands were hurting at one stage, it would have been good to be able to vary and prevent injuries.
So, we are going on a big creative adventure ... 😊
