Notes

View all my posts on the project here. My posts contain lots of info that would be very helpful for beginners. (I hope!)

13/04/13- Eek just realised I started my project on Friday the 13th! lol! I choose to believe this is good luck instead :)
I made a swatch etc. I also realised I will have to do alterations to the pattern cos I’m smaller than the smaller size. (this pattern is obviously designed for bustier ladies, and I’m very small). Luckily I have an expert to help me out! :)

09/06/13- Coming along. I’ve made plenty of mistakes, and learned a lot, all documented on my blog. I’ve made a few modifications! I stopped increases in the front way earlier, for my small bust.
I decreased the sleeves after picking up the stitches on scrap yarn, for slim arms. They are also a few rows shorter (took out 4 rows of stocking stitch and 3 rows of ribbing)
I also messed by making the waist too small so had to rip back a bit and add some more stitches. I also used E.Z’s stretchy bind off for maximum stretch!

Sleeve cuffs and ribbing at bottom are 7 rows instead of 10.

I had over 1 ball of yarn left over at the end.
