Mods:

• side/underarm panels in garter, to provide some waist “shaping”
• added about 4” of length, by casting on more stitches
• made arms wider by inserting more rows
• did three-needle bind-off at arm seams, instead of grafting.
• did Judy’s Magical Cast-On for start of arms. used a crochet hook to re-do the cuff stitches in garter at the point of cast-on.
• omitted button tabs on cuff and waist band
• Re-wound 1/2 of the yarn cakes, so the colors would mirror each other from the center-back.
• added more buttonholes (13 total)

So totally in love with this yarn. I obsessed over it for days, and finally couldn’t resist. The colorway makes me think of a book I read many times when I was younger called, “Shark Lady, True Adventures of Eugenie Clark”.
