Notes

Tough pattern to follow. How many pages do I need to keep flipping through?

10/13: Kept considering frogging this. The shells look a lot more old lady than Eve’s Rib Tunic. Steam blocked it and the pattern opened up a lot and is very pretty now, will keep going.

10/14: Just finished the Sash-A belt. Added 10 stitches, should have added 20-30 to make the belt longer. Steamed it, but it just grew a little.

Just one more sleeve and the front ribbing to go. Did mid hip length and can’t believe how fast it worked up.

Added 2 rows to the sleeve length and did 15 SC for the cuff ribbing so I can turn the cuff up.

10/20: Finished the collar ribbing and decided to rip it out and make it much wider and add ribbing rows. Starting with 15SC wide at bottom, will go to 25 at collar. Doing increases every third row like Eves Rib Tunic. Alternating SS in 1 SC, SS in 2SC. Will do that to the point were it’s only SS in 1 SC to fill the back collar.

Only thing kind of difficult in the pattern is flipping between so many pages, other than that a pretty easy pattern.

11/24: Love love love this. Have worn it several times. The ribbing does sag, but I like how it looks. It changes the shape of the garment. I usually wear it without the belt. Need to take more pics.
