Thanks Jaya, those are helpful. I'd thought I didn't want i-cord edges, but I like the way it looks on your hoodie - maybe just allow the 2-stitch cables to morph into i-cord, casting on one more stitch to work it. I'll tinker with it when I get there.

Thanks for reminding me about that, Laura, possibly worth a try although I don't mind the sewing. Question still remains, what would make a good strong edge to apply the zipper to??

Actual knitting question for you all. I'm working on AS's for Hank - back and sleeves done, just starting the front. I'm going to convert the neckline from crew to half-zip with a foldover collar, for the kid who hates tight necks. I'll just allow the center cable to open up somewhere around bottom-of-armhole height and work each side separately from there. I think I will need to cast on a couple of stitches on each side for an edging to sew the zipper to. Question is, how many, and how should I work them for a nice firm edge. Any thoughts?
