Met gauge perfectly

Doing seed stitch instead of garter at the edge.

The back (size L) went vey well. I did the center bind-off earlier to get more space at the neck.

For the front I casted on the number of stitches for xl to get more room for my hips and did more shaping decreases to get back to size L. I should have done that for the back piece too.

I had difficulties with the number of decreases for the V-shaping and my number of rows per cm, so I did a decrease in every right side row. I was ready with it too early, but that didn’t matter. I just made the shoulders a little longer.

I’m very proud that I managed all the small things to get ready so well. Like seaming together, picking up stitches for the armholes and seaming the pockets. I even was lucky to find these nice buttons.

And this yarn is sooo nice …

Now comes the time to wash and block….
