"My First Cardigan"

I found a pattern called "my first cardigan" --hah! been there, done that! --but love the pattern anyway, so I've started it in a dusty sage yarn.
It's knitting up so that a basic stockinette stitch looks almost braided; cool. This is the back.
The nice thing about this pattern is that the back, front panels, and sleeves come together in right-angle seams (you'll see what I mean--I'll post as I knit each piece) so raglan or dolman sleeves won't cause me any problems.
Nice, huh?
