Tubular cast on with 3.5mm needles - cast on 8 stitches fewer for a tighter neck opening. Knitted neckband on 4mm after that and switched to 5mm for body.

Gauge is kind of ok for stitch count but off by about 2 rows (mine is shorter). I don’t think it’ll be an issue though.

Doing 2 rows of turquoise for every 9 rows of white because I can’t count. Should’ve been 8 but I counted wrong and didn’t realise until it was too late…

Carrying the white but breaking the green each time. I’m using the travelling jogless stripe method from 10 rows a day and it’s looking brilliant.

Lots of ends to weave in but I’m done. I can’t believe how quickly this came together. Maybe this is my turning point on summer yarns because I really like this. I fancy another soon…

I threaded some elastic around the neckline to prevent it from stretching out. I don’t know that it actually might have but I thought I’d deal with the possibility sooner rather than later.
