Notes

Wow, just wow! What an incredible beauty!

It took me some time to get into the lace pattern, but it was definitely worth it.

Due to no hip/big boob situation CO for the second smallest size and decreased down to smallest: dec 4 st 4 times every 8th row (row 27, row 7, row 16 and 23 of Dragonfly repeat body chart size 34/36). Increased twice on row 19 and row 27.

Decreases/waistshaping far from perfect, but my arm hides that most of the time :)

Following Lilalu’s lead I shortened the body and did a few garter ridges less than called for, also did less ridges on the neckline.

The yarn is übernice, a beautiful ‘dirty water’ colour. First time knitting with Mad Tosh, and I wanted to do the yarn justice so I alternated 3 skeins, every half round. I think it’s called the Helix method, it’s explained by TECH knitter. To help with the tension I did a YO every time I started knitting from a different skein, dropping it in the next round. This worked out really nice, and I was seriously impressed with myself, until I had to knit the sleeves. Magic looping with three skeins is the devils work from hell.
