15 April--As good as done! I just need to do the finishing things, and that’s it :)

25 March--I’ve hit the halfway point. A little more really, since the decreases are starting now.

It was pretty straightforward. I ended up being 8 stitches short of the 402 called for before the decreasing, so I just increased 8 stitches in the plain row before the last decrease row--the knit 99, increase 1, knit 100, increase 1, knit 99, increase one, knit 100, increase one row. That was fun.

Now though, a plain row and decrease six times until there are six stiches left. Yay!

I’m knitting this for my Costume Con historic masquerade costume--wish me luck!
