I love this Cable Net sock pattern

but I now have to wear braces to stabilize my ankles, so knitting myself lovely socks is pointless.

I do so love this pattern, so I decided to used the cable pattern from the socks to make a sweater. I used a sweater pattern from Jessica Tromp, the most amazing knitting resource website:

I am trying to omit the side seams and knit the body as one piece and knit the sleeves in the round. I am also not binding off at the armholes and shoulders and hoping to graft those seams.

Bound off shoulders - grafting (kitchner/garter) left an obvious seam. Binding off & mattress stitch is a better option.
