I finally finished my Butterfly!

-- I did a ton of research beforehand in Craftster, knitting blogs, anywhere Google could point me in regards this pattern! I’ve incorporated a lot of notes other knitters have made in their versions. For example, like Domesticat, I did not make YOs or decreases at either edge unless they could be paired with corresponding decreases. And like Eunny Jang, I used the same yarn, needle size, and full immersion blocking (with a little help from citrus-scented Soak).

-- I did not use the waste yarn for grafting the hems; I just knitted and seamed normally.

-- I also added 2 extra knit sts on either side to help with mattress stitching up the seams at the end after hearing what a bitch the seams were for other knitters. This was a significant help.

-- Overall, I’m overjoyed with how the project came out. Now if only I can find some decent pants or a skirt to wear it with… my pants in these photos aren’t really cutting it

Thanks to my sister, Amy, for the photos.
