Notes

I added more waist shaping because I have high-contrast proportions. I also shortened the body, knowing that blocking would add some length.

And I loved my CC color, so I did the neckline I-cord in that instead, plus I added I-cord bind offs to the sleeves instead of ribbing to inject a little more of that color.

I was between sizes according to the measurements, so I made a size 3, but after knitting through the colorwork portion, I realized I should have made a 2! The 3 it was rather large on me, and the colorwork doesn’t extend past the armpits like it does in other sizes.
