Notes

Leiden, you clever little minx, you! Every stitch was a delight, and I loved watching this come together.

No modifications. This may be a me-specific thing - fault my penchant for leaving long tails when joining colors - but I ran out of the contrast (cream) yarn after knitting the neckline and had to order a second skein in order to knit the remaining two rows of contrast at the hem. :)

See also: Damn my ladyboobs, messing with the perfect lines of this one. :/ In retrospect, I wish I had opted for an even more oversized fit, so it would have hugged the curves a bit less.

Submission for PPQ Summer KAL, ending 7/29.

Update: Donated in Jul 2019, as I loved in more on the hanger than my actual body.
