Notes

Doing another one cause I like the first one soooo much.

I hope this works just as well as the blue one … kinda concerned that the white isn’t as drapy as the blue? I might have to abuse this one more to bring out the softness and drape?

There are also mods I want to incorporate into this one that were things I wish I’d have done on the blue one.

Self test knitting I suppose:-)

July 30th 10 days later…

Oh Poop! More frogging! I was knitting the back lace part with the wrong friggin’ needles! Should have been using 3mm but NO…3.25s? Started over…I had 7 inches done and realized it was too big! Honestly I am getting tired of all this ripping this year! (And I am amazed how big a difference 1/4mm can make?)

Taking this to Vegas tomorrow… I do need something to kill time in airports.

Aug 17th

This is coming along nicely and I am now working on the St, st. part. I’ve got about another 8 inches to go to the hem….This is the long and boring part!

Aug. 29th.

The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round….

I underestimated the number of inches left to knit… it’s 18 inches from the under arm to the hem… I just measured the length on the other Charlene last night and I still have a ways to go it seems:-)

…and round and round, round and round, round……

October 7th: I am down to the final rounds of the hem! Got the beads on last night and need to knit 6 to 8 more rounds and hem it under:-)

All that is left to do is to crochet around the arm holes and neck and add a few beads to the neck:-)

YEAH!!
