Today I got the main part of the body knitting done.  I mentioned earlier that for the last design section, I was going to just knit the gold on rows where there were enough stitches in a pattern repeat to make it worth while, and then duplicate stitch in the rest. Here it is almost done, with the last couple of repeats left to stitch.

I got that finished tonight, and the first row of the ribbing.  Almost done with the body – then onto the sleeves!
