Whops got those two mixed up so thats mean I can knit the sweater on circular needles just not joing it or do I join it. Man knitting a sweater with a easy pattern its a little over whelming

I'm still not sure at all what you're knitting. You asked about knitting in the round. If you are knitting in the round, you will join your stitches. This works for a pullover. http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/advanced-techniques If it's not a pullover then knitting in the round won't work. Check the video link I included to know what I'm talking about when I say knitting in the round just so we can see if we're even talking about the same thing, OK?

The pattern may be easy, I don't know, but when you start doing it other than as written it gets complicated. Maybe for your first sweater it would be a good idea to use a pattern you can use as written, either to not modify the one you have or find another that fits the way you want to do it.
