Notes

ca.2200 m notwendig?

needed some mindless tv knitting…

knitting size L but in fingering, lets see if that works out…

also because i only had “normal” needles i started on the bodice and not the skirt part…

yoke-increases: usually i do increases in garter by knitting in the loop from the stitch below, but that was too tight, i didn’t like it.
so i ripped and now am doing yo’s which i am knitting through the back loop to prevent holes. much better and relaxed fabric!

nearing finishing the second yoke, and having used up ca. 2,5skeins…
still pondering options on how to finish the skirt, probably stripes…

got a 4th skein to finish somewhat like the pattern says…

well, it is certainly too big. not sure what to do atm will have to think about it a bit….

yes! i got one more skein today to keep knitting.
i have decided to go on, as it is big but then it is supposed to be a loose fitting dress.
my version will be more a sweater than a dress, but thats fine.

using up the last skein to get the skirt done, looks good. perfect tv/book knitting.
