Notes

04-11-2025

based on comments will size down from a medium to a small.

Body - us 10.5
Sleeves - us 11
Rib - us 10

05-01-2025 well this was a bust

it fit before blocking and I blocked carefully! And I swatched. This yarn droops a LOT. The armhole depth dropped 2 inches.

Am going to dampen it and throw it in the drier at 10 minute intervals to see if I can get it back to wearable.

05-01-2025 after the dryer….

yeah, it did shrink back up. still the armpits are low. i went back and looked at the pattern photos and a bunch of other projects and the armpits all look too long. I’ll wear it around the house.

05-02-2025 oh and

All rib bind offs were done with Patty Lyons faux tubular bind off
