Notes

6/26/2017 - Washed and blocking . Just ends left to weave in! Yay!

6/22/2017 - OMG OMG I finished all the knitting! Just need to wash/block it then weave in all the ends! Weeee!

5/13/2017 - Finished the decreases for the fronts. Now to knit another two inches or so even before joining the shoulders and finishing the neck!

6/10/2017 - Pinned the shoulders to check the armhole length before seaming them. I think a few more rows are in order so it’s not so snug. Hopefully that won’t cause a problem once I block.

5/9/2017 - Happy 5th birthday, dear project! Today I worked on you a bunch at knit night and and so close to finishing you finally!

4/24/2017 - Ready to divide for the neck.

4/22/2017 - The back is finished!

4/15/2017 - Finally found the time to fix the side panels. I’m ready to finish the back now.

3/26/2017 - Seems that since I picked this pack up I’ve been working charts B and C incorrectly. I’ll need to drop those panels down and reknit.

3/18/2017 - Picked back up. Finished the armhole decreases in the back. Let’s get this done this time.

8/8/2015 - Chart B completed. Reading ahead before continuing.

6/21/2015 - Finished straight knitting on Chart A. Started bust increases and Chart B.

6/14/2015 - Picked up again yesterday and have put 14 rounds on it. Time for this to get worked on seriously! I’m about halfway through the knit even section after the waist decreases.

4/22/2014 - After another almost year of knitting a round here or there, I finally finished the waist decreases. My new goal is to finish this top to wear this summer!

4/30/2013 - Picked this up again and did 5 or so rounds at knit night. I do love the pattern. Hopefully I can finish to wear it this summer!

6/17/2012 - 2 repeats in to waist decreases.

6/10/2012 - About to start waist decreases.

5/13/2012 - 2 of 3 of the first chart A repeats done.

5/9/2012 - Finally got gauge on US3s/3.25mm! Can CO tonight. Knitting size 42 ¾“ with negative ease instead of an inch of positive.

Swatched “in the round” and flat on US6s and US5s. Have gotten 5 to 5.5sts per inch.. Am waiting for my flat swatch on US4s to dry. It’s doubtful that I’ll get this finished to wear for my birthday activities at the end of the month now, but I will have a lovely knit for the summer!
