Aug 29 - Checked gauge. For twisted rib I’m at around 24 stitches on 4mm = 4”. Might be a little small so I went a size up.

Sept 29 - Finished the body - looks like it will be a bit tight… I’m going to add an extra few rows to the button band to loosen it up a bit. I’ll do that next to make sure that I can get it to fit. I’m putting in 13 button holes.

Oct 10 - This is a great way to do sleeves! I’ll never seam again!! :-D

Nov 30 - Just doing the i-cord bind-off now… instructions

Dec 5 - Found buttons! The colour is a perfect match.

Dec 28 - Buttons are on and I can wear it tomorrow! The fit is great — not tight at all in the body. One thing I will have to try to fix is the shoulders — where the sleeves meet the seam at the top the edge puckers up strangely. I’ve blocked already but forgot to try to fix that. Next time.

Overall a great & well written pattern!
