Cast on 102 using provisional cast-on so that I can adjust the collar as the neck seems too big in the pictures. I’ll also add some short rows when i am putting in the neck band. I’ll also pick-up to knit the button bands as it offers a bit of stability.

I will use a lifted increase for second set of increases as I don’t usually do yarn over increases.

Did up to 11 the row

Of course I couldn’t break tradition when it comes to Drops patterns so i knit until seperating for sleeves and found that it was huge across the back. Since i’m substituting yarn my row guage is off.

Cast on again and left out increases on 5 semi-random rows. When got to sleeves still a bit big on back so i cast on 6 stitches under sleeves instead of 8. Fingers crossed.

The folded picot hem is taking forever to bind off
