So fortunate to test this for dear Melanie, can’t wait to be able to get started. After a break and a rest for my difficult shoulder I should be started in a few weeks :0)

9/11 Was able to get a few quick action shots today, but they’re not very good at all. It was just too rushed, hot and bright outside - perhaps we’ll get a few more later on, but they’ll have to do for now.
7/6 A few indoor photos, hopefully I will get some outdoor action shots in the near future. The camera picks up the stripey-ness of the color tones far more than is noticeable in real life.
7/4 Knitting complete and ends woven in - time for blocking.
6/29 it’s taken so long but I finally finished the first sleeve!
6/23 i-cord neck edging done.
6/22 Body complete.
6/1 Was finally able to start this a couple of days ago as my shoulder is doing much better, thankfully. My tension has become so much looser since this last flare-up, probably a result of trying to make my arm and shoulder less stressed, that I have had to go down a full two needle sizes from where I was knitting this same sort of thing last year. I am starting my waist decreases 3/4” farther down than specified in the pattern to accommodate my long torso.
