Notes

US 7 for twisted and leaning ribbing in body
US 2.5 for lace
US 4 for twisted ribbing at neckline

I ended up using size 2.5 instead of 2 to loosen up the lace just a bit. I found the lace on my swatch with 2s pretty stiff. The gauge difference is so small, I doubt it will cause any issues.

Total yardage: 1120

All done! This piece is so short, but still takes a while to knit because of the leaning twisted sts. I also started feeling pain in my wrist while working on the sleeves, so I really slowed down in the last 2 weeks.

I love how the fabric feels post-blocking. It has a lovely drape to it.

The finished piece does feel a tad too cropped to me, but it works as a layer over a dress or some very high waisted skirts.
