SSK Plan

Gwen,
Can you please give us some idea how many of each type of pattern designs are included in the kimono, so that we can plan our strip placements. So far, there have been patterns that create linear texture and a selection of three lacy designs. Will there be other pattern styles like these?
I am thinking about how I want the types of patterns to progress up the sleeve, for example. And what type of pattern I will use for the border of my front panels (down the middle).
Since my kimono is longer that yours, I want the designs to provide the appropriate effect on the front and back.
If I want to include a lacy design on the front or back, I want to make it long enough (or short enough) for that placement. I do not want to have to go back and unknit a bind-off to make a strip longer, or to unravel to make a strip shorter. There is a lot of work and time invested in this project and I am sure you want all of our kimonos to be pleasing to the knitters.
What can you tell us about the number and types of designs that will be coming up?
