I don’t love the German short rows in this. I enjoyed doing the technique but I think it creates a bit of a bump. I usually do w&t. It might just be the yarn though.

Finished knitting the body and when Kirsten tried it on it was just a little too clingy. Ripping back and adding about 4 inches after the sleeve split.

Finally got together for a try on and the extra width added was good.
