The fabric has plenty of stretch to it…that lace!…so I think it will be forgiving. I’m going to do a deeper ribbing than the pattern calls for, and I’ll get my needed waist shaping there.

I’m getting 8.73 rows/inch in pattern. One of the 12-row repeats is giving me an inch and a half if I stretch it to where it will be post blocking…so 12 repeats from ribbing to shoulder will give me 18” -- too long for me, so I’ll be adjusting there. I was shooting for a row gauge close to stitch gauge to give me a more slender elongated V-shape, so I’m happy.

changed to #3 needle after 5th repeat instead of 4th.
Can ignore changing edge that I was attempting to add..
