Notes

Just started and I think I’ve found an error in the pattern already… there are not enough rows in the pattern before starting shoulder shaping… no big deal, I’ve knit about 20 extra rows.


June 19

Started knitting again. Doing left back. Trying to figure out how to put in the extra 20 rows, probably going to do more increases and on alternating rows.


July 6

Started knitting again, this time for real.


July 12

It didn’t take long to do the back pieces and the arms, but I really hate the finishing part… picking up, making sure the rib is not too tight or too loose, casting off, sewing and weaving in countless threads… I also have to block it and iron the hems… I will think twice before embarking on a project that requires so much finishing.

In any case, it looks perfect: perfect length (glad I did extra rows, I have big boobs hehe). It looks exactly like in the pictures, except for the colour. I am very happy with it, and receiving many compliments! =)
