Description from Knitty.com:

UnGranny Smith is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up. For a tailored fit, it features set-in sleeves and waist, shoulder, and back-neck shaping. Two optional sets of short rows added to the back ensure that the contoured bodice hangs perfectly. The combined front bands and collar are picked up and knit in one piece on a long circular needle. The beads are knitted in, but could be sewn on later instead, if that's your preference. The allover stitch pattern comes in two flavors: one with beads and one without.


There tends to be a lot going on, shaping- and bead-wise, at the lower edge of each piece, immediately following the ribbing. If you're a less experienced granny, you might want to keep the amaretto out of your tea until the stitch pattern is well established. Or add more. See what happens.
