You'll be fine 
I'm constantly looking up what all the abbreviations mean, then writing it in language I understand

Apart from the rolling up, does it suit you? I'm having qualms about it as it's such a similar shape to the February Lady cardigan which I do wear but really want something more fitted than.It was a hexperiment.

I'd start another thread so the non-knitters see it really. Whenever is fine for me - sooner the better!

I prefer it open to buttoned - the buttons finish at the wrong place for the more bangerlicious amongst us - but yes, I think it's OK. No one's run away screaming, anyway

Yes I thought I'd mostly wear it open, and/or possibly try putting buttons all the way down the front.I prefer it open to buttoned - the buttons finish at the wrong place for the more bangerlicious amongst us - but yes, I think it's OK. No one's run away screaming, anyway
I've got a bit bogged down because I thought maybe I should add some waist shaping to it, but I've never done that before and it involves maths and reading up
I'm only about 3 inches in and I'm already having my usual crisis of doubt.

I'm gonna start knitting again.. but am stumbling at the first hurdle... I just want to check that I'm understanding this line of instruction correctly:
Row 1: (RS) K1 (3,0,2), [p2,k3] 7 (7,9.9) times, p3, k1(3,0,2)
I'm doing the 2nd biggest one so should I..
K3, p2, k3 (9 times), p3, k3
What I don't understand is why the first time I should perl it's in [square brackets] and the next time in no brackets at all.

The bit in square brackets is the repeating bit, so
K3,
then p2, k3 x 7 times (ie. p2 k3, p2 k3, p2 k3, p2 k3, p2 k3, p2 k3, p2 k3)
p3
k3
= 44 stitches.
If it isn't in square brackets, you do it once, if it is in square brackets, it should then tell you how many times.

Wonderful - thanks... I only stopped knitting a year ago and I've forgotten it all already!!

Hang on though, surely if you're doing the second biggest size, as opposed to the second smallest, you start off by doing k0 rather than k3? And then do the p2, k3 9 times, then p3 k0. ie don't do the knit stitch at the beginning and end of the row.

ok - the way you see it, I'm doing the second smallest (ie what Moose described)....

Yeah... It should say at the beginning under sizing something like "To fit S (M, L, XL)" or "to fit chest 34 (36, 38, 40).
If you want to knit the L, or the 38, you follow all the instructions that fall at the same place in all the brackets, so all the middle ones. It's a good idea to go through and highlight them. If you wanted to knit the medium (36) you'd knit the first instructions in the brackets.
