18/3/13 - not at all happy with this. The curling around the hem is hideous, and from experience I know that blocking will not be sufficient to get rid of it. So what next. I have spent all afternoon, knitted 1 skein, so do I frog? Also concerned about finished size. Again considering making the XS size?

19/3/13 - Frogged and added 4 rows of moss stitch along the hem….much better! Decided to stay with size S, because I am knitting exactly to tension and finished measurement should be perfect.

10/4/13 Back knitting this after a few weeks out with a bad cold. Going OK. Reached the end of the fan decreases (waist) on the back. Looking nice and neat.

27/4/13 - had nearly finished the left front and had to re-do it. That’ll teach me for not reading the inc/dec. instructions properly! Just got back to where I was and starting on the travel cable section.

30/4/13 - left front finished! just cast on for right front.

25/5/13 - I’m working on first sleeve (half way up). I have made errors in the increases so I am ‘fiddling’. I’m quite glad, as I think the sleeve would have been too wide otherwise.

2/6/13 - nearly completed second sleeve and ran out of yarn, even though I bought an extra ball. Also I have the neckband still to knit. Strange, because I checked the size and it looks fine.

Finished at last! and it looks lovely on my photos, but not so flattering on me (think it makes my waist look too ample). Also sleeves are wide and flappy at the top which I don’t like so much. On the plus side, it makes my hips look bigger thus giving the illusion of curves that I don’t have.
