About 4.5” into the body already. I’m going to finish up the skein of yarn I’m on and then do sleeves. Then I’ll come back and finish the body.

I am shortening my sleeves by about 1.5”. This is not the pattern’s fault — my arms must just be short because ALL patterns have sleeves that are too long for me

I did this by just figuring out the number of rounds I wanted to leave out, and recalculating the number of decreases over the number of rounds remaining. I also did two extra decrease rounds at the end so I would have tighter cuffs because my wrists are small compared to the rest of me.

Both sleeves and about 7..5 or 8” of the body are done. I love this so much, I want to be done right now so I can wear it, but I still have a few inches to go. There will definitely be more than one of these in my wardrobe in the future. I have some ElsaWool sport that I think would be amazing… gonna have to see if I have enough. But definitely need another one of these for sure.

Just fyi, I almost always make a 2X in Heidi’s patterns, but for this one, I’m making a 3X. I thought with the modified drop shoulder I’d prefer just a little more ease. Make sure you check the schematic before you decide which size to knit. My full bust is 51.5” if that helps you decide.

Bound off almost exactly at midnight. Going to soak and block and hope I can stay awake at work all day tomorrow.
