Swatch on 8s: 17.5 st/4” after blocking. Ordered size 9 and 10 tips

03-10-2024

9: 17st/4”

Going up another needle size will be too open and holey and I don’t want to add mohair.

I’m going to make size 6 at a tighter gauge to end up with about a 48” bust.

Starting ribbing with 7s

03-26-2024

Knitting flat on 9s is looking like 19st/4”unblocked. edit NOPE I’m dumb I was still on the 7s

09-08-2024

Will just be breaking into the third skein to finish the body ribbing

248g left for sleeves

It’s grew a ton after blocking. Will have to rip back. Need to check my gauge/math to see where I went wrong

01-12-2025

Finally pulled this out again to figure out what went wrong. Apparently I’m on gauge at 15 st/4” instead of the 17 stitches I swatched. I’ll stick with US 9s and rip back to knit the size 3. It should go quickly. Of course I did an Italian bind off though

Cast on size 3 on US8 for the collar

01-16-2025

I was just about to finish the collar and I realized I cast on the wrong number of stitches ugh

Restarting with the correct number of stitches

The flat knitting portion of this sweater is not looking like 15 st/4”

01-20-2025

Joined in the round

01-22-2025

My in the round gauge is 14st/4”. Ive been trying to knit loosely though, so I’m going to rip back and knit normally.
