Total knitting time: about 63 hours.

Modifications:

• Adjusted stitchcount overall, incl. rows to inc. and dec. in the body and inc. in the sleeves.
• Bust shaping with short rows.
• Continued the faux cables in front longer then the pattern called for to better fit my bust line.
• Mirrored the faux cables in the front.
• Used a purl stitch for faux seam in the sides and the sleeves.
• Judy’s surprisingly stretchy bind-off for bottom, cuffs and neck.
• Knitted the neckband first to get all the button holes facing the same way. I have never had issues with the top button coming loose with an vertical buttonhole.
• Tulip buttonholes.
