Notes

4/15 not so sure about this yarn-a little tough on the fingers. but I am sure the drape and structure of the fabric will be lovely.

4/22 seriously. if you love stockinette, you will love the first hours and days of this garment. oy.

5/12 when you get to the lace pattern. place markers at every repeat. but you probably already knew that.

5/19 holy crap. this lace pattern is a bitch when you are working on the sleeve area.

5/26 I am never going to finish this stupid shirt. I’ve ripped out the front twice since the directions only say work as back. Not paying attention to details has been the bane of my existence. I think that the shirt is going to be too big on me as well. sigh.

6/2 seriously this lace pattern is something you really need to fudge here and there when you are binding off edges at the neck and sleeve. sometimes i would have to add a yarnover at the edges to get the stitch count correct. count, count, count!

6/5 washed it in a mesh bag in the washing machine twice, then dried it in the dryer. just so you know-this yarn shrinks vertically. you will lose some length.
