18.5” approximately.

(took a break for a few days to work on a lace beanie)

2/3/15
12 repeats, just finished 7th row of 13th repeat. 29 inches.

2/5/15
started neck shaping at 31 inches (approx) and after finishing 6th row of 14th repeat. 14 repeats total with neck and shoulder shaping complete. done w/ back.

2.8.15
Started the left front, cast on 47 for the ribbing, and am on row 9 of the ribbing. I think I actually did the edge stitches wrong on the back (didn’t knit all of them, but did knits and purls alternating). Not sure if I should redo or just seam it as is when I get to it…]

2.9.15
(left front) Finished ribbing, started first pattern repeat, ended on row 6.

2.10.15
(left front) Ended on row 3 of 3rd repeat

2.16.15
(left front) Ended on row 6 of 4th repeat.

2.17.15
(left front) about to start 5th row of 6th repeat (3rd decrease row)

2/28/15
Took a break to work on some projects I brought home from Stitches West. Had some trouble figuring out the shaping but after a few false starts I think I’ve got it. Ended on the 9th row of 11th repeat.

3/1
finished left front. started right front, ended on 5th repeat.

3/2
ended on 9th row of 9th repeat.

3/3
Finished 11th repeat, so close to finishing the right front!

8.2.15 finished 2nd sleeve and seamed cardigan this weekend.
