8/7 Finished! What a world of difference washing and blocking makes! I had started to think that I’d gone down too many needle sizes, but after blocking this fits just right, any bigger would have been too big.

8/5 Completed knitting and weaving in of ends. Just blocking and buttons left to do!

8/4 Ripped out the original bottom ribbing and redid it with a smaller needle and bound off in pattern ~ much better than the first time through! For some reason, although these yarns are the exact same kind, the grey seems more like a worsted weight and knit up too bulky and big the first time around. Much better with the 3’s. Working on back section.
