Skein #2 finished, 8 rows after the second decrease row.

Used standard increases for the armhole and neck shaping, but in the middle of the fabric they pulled strangely so I switched to lifted increases for the hips.

Began bottom hem at 16” (right after last increase section), as I plan to make the bottom hem a bit longer than patterned: 3 rows MC, 3 rows CC, 2 rows MC, 3 rows CC, 4 rows MC + tubular bind off.

Button band ended up being 3 rows MC, buttonhole bind-off/cast-on rows CC, 2 rows and suspended bind-off MC. In retrospect I sort of wish I’d done 2 rows MC and another CC row before the buttonholes, but whatever it looks awesome anyway.

Hope I don’t run out of yarn; I had to break into skein 5 to finish the button band. Going to use skein 5 to knit the first sleeve and switch to the second sleeve when that skein dies.

I’m hoping the yellow stripes will mean I don’t look too monochromatic if I wear this with jeans…
