Notes

23 Feb 15 reknit this finally, took me 4 and a bit days from ball to back, as I was on a mission. It’s still going to stretch I think, but we will see I knit the smallest size as last time it grew exponentially, and I have also lost over 2 stone (35lb to be exact). I am currently at a 10/12 if that hepls anyone decide on sizing, but remember I knit in the pattern specified yarn and yours, if different,
may give a different result.

I’ll try to post pics at some point.

15/7/11 Frogging, it’s just too huge/long. Haven’t decided if I’ll reknit or use the yarn for something else.

I may have to frog this even though it’s all sewn up. It just seems to get bigger every time I touch it, the waist will soon end up at my knees. It’s either frog and reknit a smaller size. or frog and find a different pattern.

26/02 The right front is done and I have started the sleeve, just not had enough knitting time.
17/01 I’ll get the right front finished today - in between starting to empty my kitchen cupboards.
06/01 The left front is finished. I’m thinking 2 buttons instead of 3… apart from I hate buttonholes, I think boobage would make the top hole redundant - unless I want to look like a walking knitted boob, a deeper v would reduce that and I think it would help the collar sit better.
10/01 At the point on the right front I need to think about buttonholes.
I decided to get a sleeve out of the way before the second front.
05/01/11 finished the back (finally) am on the left front now. Up past the armhole shaping on the left front.
23/11 not a lot of knitting has been done - well, not on this, a couple of rows to the shoulder cast off.
29/10 Almost at armhole decreasing, must make a decision today as to which measurement to use.
24/10/10 just about the waist, the picture from today doesn’t show the intense colour.
