Converting flat to circular knitting

How-to Questions

I am working on a cardigan in super bulky wool. The body is knit in one piece to the armholes and then divided for shoulder and neck shaping.

The arms are knit flat with decreases for the shoulder cap shaping.

How can I convert the rest to minimize seaming? Unfortunately super bulky yarn equals super bulky seams.

Any good and easy to understand books that would walk me through this?
