Notes

This instead of field sweater?
^yes. crew neck

20.10.2024

Decided to just go ahead and cast this on instead of waiting until I’d finished the Becca shawl, because I desperately want to wear it.

02.11.2024

Finished the body a couple days ago, sewed the shoulder seems today.

So turns out my row gauge is 8spi rather than the called for 7spi, which explains why the body feels short when I try it on lol. We’re gonna hope and pray it blocks out (swatch indicates not likely but we’re gonna hope). If not a bunch of knitting math and re-knitting are gonna happen.

Finished it last night, and yeah the torso really is too short, beyond what any blocking could fix. Also probably actually do need the C/D darts. Therefore: surgery to reknit the torso. Mathing to make up for my row gauge being off.
