Notes

Bust 49.5”
Bicep 16”
4.9 Cast on using notes from my last MBL. I do not need it as small as the last time, thank you weight gain. But I still don’t want a completely off the shoulder sweater either. I am still using a size 7 because I love the way the fabric looks and feels with this yarn at this gauge. Roughly following a size 38-40” patterns should give me a 48” bust when finished.
CO 120
Working my way through the raglan increases. 66 per sleeve is a bit more than needed. Should have cast on 4 less per sleeve. Could have chosen to make longer sleeves and decrease the size, but wanted to keep the gradient accurate.

4.10
separate for sleeves.
knit one round after underarm additional stitches added. cut yarn to finish sleeves (seed stitch 3 rounds & then BO in seed stitch pattern) then rejoin yarn on body. Knit to 4” after sleeve separation.

Tried on - sleeves not as loose as I thought they would be, mainly because they are so short.

Started A-Line by increasing now and every 5 rounds.

4.11 Working through increases. Not much knitting time today.

7.1 finally finished it. Since i started this i have stopped to design and knit 2 sweaters. Now I finished this.

Tunic length almost. Seed stitch hem to match neck and cuffs. 60” circumference at hem.
