Notes

9/21 Done - this is a really cute design.
9/20 Knitting finished and blocking. Hopefully I will get this finished and get action shots this weekend.

Mods:

Sleeves: I decided to do regularly spaced increases/decreases on the sleeves instead of the method employed in the pattern. I worked increases/decreases every 6 rows, starting at the point specified in the pattern, all the way up the arm until I reached the number of stitches for my size (66). After reaching that number at 4 full repeats, I did another half repeat before casting on stitches for the body. I am very happy with the sleeves, they are comfortably form-fitting without being tight and hit just below the elbow for length - just perfect.

Body: I added 5 extra stitches on each side when casting on for the body, bringing my total c/o for each side to 17 stitches. I would have liked the top to be a little longer waisted than it ended up, even with this increase, so if I make it again I may add 10 extra stitches to each side instead of just 5.
