Notes

Jan 20: The short row sleeves are very clever! I didn’t bother picking up the wraps.

I ended up knitting a size 32” at the designer’s advice, since my shoulders are very small. I have a 35” bust but the rib pattern is very stretchy so it is working out very well.

I did not do any increases for the hips part, since the pullover has a lot of give and I wanted it tight.

Dec 12: This pullover is going to turn into a dress. I have so much yarn left!

I had to frog and redo the yoke because of silly mistakes. Not the fault of the pattern.

My waistline is a bit high, I guess I didn’t pay close attention when I did the first fitting.
