Notes

01.17.11--Finished one skein.
01.25.11--Finished the front. Had to fudge the neck a but b/c I was decreasing too slowly.

08.30.11--Gauge for the back: 16sts x 23 rows = 4 x 4 in. in st st., using US size 7 needles.
09.02.11--Finished 2nd & 3rd skeins.
09.03.11--Back armholes: followed armhole shaping for the bind off and the first 6 rows of decreases. Then, only did the right side decreases for 4 rows, and knit st st on the wrong siderows. (56 sts left)
09.04.11--Shaping shoulders and neck: CO middle 10 sts; CO 6 sts, 6 sts, 5 sts for shoulder edges & 3 sts, 3 sts for neck. This may end up being a racerback. I kind of wish the pattern had a schematic for the final measurements. Ah well. We shall see.
