Notes

Made it shorter in the body - I like the length of my Miette, so used that length.

Raised the neckline shaping - I did the armhole shaping first, and then started the neck shaping. Knit to length in the arm hole, not the rows, seeing my gauge was out.

Did the buttonbands and neck first before starting the sleeves. Button hole method was k2tog, backwards loop cast on, which was still too big for my 8mm pearl shank buttons. :( So I have been sticking it through the knitted fabric, and have used press studs in between the buttons to keep it together better.

Didn’t use W&T method for short rows - used my version of Japanese short rows, in which I don’t slip the stitches, and it seemed to work well. I guess I still need to perfect.

No wet blocking yet, need to get around to it.
