11-24 - haven't worked on this in a few weeks, but I did finish the first sleeve and get the second one started before I set it aside.

Notes

MC = velveteen
CC = all the others

Size notes - my stitch gauge is big and row gauge is just a smidge small … I’m in between sizes … I did some math and plan to start with Size 1, then move to Size 2, and work a size 1-2 for the body, with size 1+ sleeves. we’ll see! Finished: bust 35” (~1.5” ease), body 12”, sleeves 13.5” LOVE the way it fits!

Worked 10 Blip sections after the sleeve split and ~1-1/2” of ribbing. Planning 12 Blip sections for the sleeves so they fall mid forearm.

Neck and sleeve ribbing - size 2; body - size 1.5 (felt like I needed it to be a little tighter).
