Notes

My title is a throwback song by Eve ;)

Pattern calls for 25cm/9.8” positive ease, so at first I knitted the 120cm/47” size (3). Later switched to 110cm/43” for less ease, since I’m not used to so much.

Suggestions for improving the pattern:
-including both cm & inches, so I don’t always need my calculator app, as I’m a dummy who can’t remember the conversion ratio.
-How about suggesting to leave a long tail on the pocket swatches for seaming? This way, there’s a few less yarn ends to weave in.
-In measuring where to end the sleeve MC knitting, specify whether you are measuring from the armpit or the top of the shoulder. The directions only note to not include the CC in measurements, but not the place to start measuring.
-include size of buttons

Frogging and going down to size 110, because I think it’s just tooo much ease for me to rock (8 inches @ bust and 15 inches @ waist when I make size 120). Though I love how that super boxy look works on the thinner testers. Jealous!

I wanted my armpit depth to be just a tad smaller, so I followed the length directions for the size 100 there (24 total cm depth instead of 26cm). But then I didn’t k2tog as many stitches on the actual sleeve as called for, so the sleeves would fit my girthy arm hahahaha
