Stalking Amy by vest. ;)

Mods:

• knit in the round
• steeked armholes as well as neck
• knit only 4 rows of ribbing at armholes, not 8
• to achieve thicker stripes, instead of alternating btwn 2 colors, I alternated between 2 balls of SAME color, spit-splicing instead of carrying up side as I went

7/24/10: Finished it just in time to wear to the Purl ‘n Hurl gathering at Crafty Mavericks Summer Craft Fair tomorrow! Although I

7/23/10: Finished the neck edging! (BO w/ #7US)

7/22/10: Picked up the stitches all the way around the neck opening & knit 3 rows of the ribbing.

7/21/10: Little bit of a break there, but today I’m extending the front to be longer and binding off shoulders.

6/5/10: Finished neck decreases. Measures 18”.

5/30/10: Finished armhole decreases.

4/23/10: Measures 15”.

4/22/10: Sat for awhile while I figured out how to do the armholes (thx, Jacey!). Decided to do them like the neck steek, but only decrease 8x.

4/14/10: I’m about 2.5” into the neck steek sts.

4/12/10: Doh. Didn’t read the pattern properly: should have started steeks already. Ripped back to ~10” & added steek stitches.

4/11/10: Measures 12”.
4/8/10: Measures 10”.
4/6/10: Measures 8.5”.

4/3/10: Cast on 200 sts. Work 4x1 rib. Measures 5”.

4/2/10:I’m getting about 24-25 sts/in on #6 needles, & I like the fabric density, so I’ll just knit 1 size down from my usual; making 36” version. Hopeully this will give me some negative ease.
