My gauge is 24 x 30, I’m going to go with the 38-1/4” bust which would be a bit large and I know from my swatch that the fabric is very stretchy.
Finally found some time to make a little progress on this - almost down to the widest part of the yoke. Can’t wait to arrive at the “separate sleeves from body” not because I mind the stockinette, but because I’m tired of keeping track of the raglan increases!
April 1st - I made it to separate sleeves from body - feeling accomplished!
April 24th - did the last waist decrease called for by the pattern and tried it on - looks great! Decided to add one more waist decrease to make the fit match my long-waisted figure. I can see already that it’s going to be a beautiful transitional season sweater :).

Almost to the bottom ribbing (whoo hoo!) I will end up with a slightly longer sweater as I can see that I’ll end up making the last hip increases right as I reach the correct pattern length and I’d like to have a few rows of straight knitting before I begin the ribbing. Maybe I’ll need to try it on when I get there.

Yay! made it to the bottom ribbing and did a sewn bind off see short, easy video here for a smooth, stretchy edge. Tried it on and love the fit! The yarn is so light that it hardly feels like a sweater at all, just what I’m wanting. Now on to the sleeves.

I’m so almost done but the cowl neck is taking forever to finish! After I got to the bottom of the sleeves, I thought that it would be quick but 150 stitches are quite a few and the textured pattern is pretty but it’s a bit monotonous after awhile…
