5/13/19:
-Holding fingering yarn doubled to get gauge.

-Using GrMtnKnittingBags suggestion for wider/lower neck (only knit 4 ribbing rows before yoke and cast on for a M which gives me 6” positive ease.)

• The pink and ivory yarn is leftover from socks, so not knitting complete charted patterns, just in cases.

5/17/19

• almost finished with body, have enjoyed this knit.

5/18/19

• ran out of the light grey at 5” from underarm, which would still give me the 6.75 with ribbing, but after trying it on, this looks too cropped. Have decided to order another skein so I can lengthen the body and maybe add more to sleeves. Back to sock knitting while I wait.

5/25/19

• Finished! Knit body to 10” from underarm. Blocked and waiting for it to dry for photos…

• Only 1 yd of ivory and 4 yards of pink left-over.

Learnings-
- adjusting the neck was a good idea, it is still a bit high, so maybe do less short rows if I knit again.

• the lot numbers were different on the light grey, so it’s two-tone .

• I knit the body as S after using M for yoke because I have broad shoulders, but should have decreased down to XS as it is very wide and though the drape is nice, I’m not convinced I don’t look like a concrete block in this.
