Notes

5/7 Did gauge swatch and decided to go down a needle size. Got through first set of repeats.
5/8 Started the second repeat.
5/12 Have finished 9” from the top of the shoulder.
5/22 Finished the first 7 rows repition of the decrease section below the bust.
5/23 Finished the second decrease and need to figure out how much farther I want to go before I start the increase section. I’ve done about 17” from the top of the shoulder, but have already added in some rows before I made the i-cord so that it would be under my bustline. I guess this means I need to try it on! Hmm… Quite a bit too big! I guess I’m going to have to rip it back:(
5/30 Completed the third of the 7 row decrease repeats. Still haven’t gotten back to “new” yarn yet!
5/31 FINALLY got thru all of the “used” yarn! Just finished the first of 3 increase repeats.
6/8 Only 4 more rows to go of the neck ruffle left! The the crochet edging…
11/2 Finally started the edging. Got almost all the way around in single crochet. I think I’ll do another row with double crochet. Really looking forward to wearing this!!
11/16 Finished the boarder and blocked (finally)!
11/21 I’m very dissapointed that the sweater has seem to grow a lot. The ridge used to be placed right below the bust line-now it’s at least 2” below :(
