did my swatch, got gauge with 5mm needles after blocking

started the collar, realized i forgot to start in the smaller needles after i had knit the whole collar, frogged it, and restarted on 4mm needles for the ribbing

05-13-2023

finished the collar and short rows, started the raglan increases

05-15-2023

almost done with the raglan increases, i think i have one more increase row to go

it’s looking like i might need to add some extra rounds to give me more space in the armpit area. once i finish the raglan increases, i’ll put it on barber cord to try on and see where we’re at

finished with the raglans as recommended in the pattern

i tried it on and definitely need some more yoke depth and sleeve circumference so i’m gonna do 3 more full raglan repeats, try it on again, and go from there

05-18-2023

tried it on again, still need more, gonna do another 3 raglans

05-19-2023

i ended up only doing 1 more raglan (so the recommended pattern +4)

split for sleeves, and everything fits fine (i forgot about the underarm pick ups)

05-21-2023

finished one sleeve and started the second

05-22-2023

finished the second sleeve, now back to the body

05-24-2023

started the ribbing for the body! almost done!

05-30-2023

i embroidered daisies!

Frogged: gonna reknit to fix the following issues:

• neckline too wide
• gauge too holey, too loose
• body way too cropped
• my little improvisation in increasing the raglans was unnecessary
