5/1/16-- Went down several needle sizes from the suggested size of 9, to a 6. I like a more dense fabric and I usually have to go down at least a needle size to achieve what I want. Cast on and was able to finish Chart 1 and up to row 32 in Chart 2.

5/8/16-- Made it to row 72 in Chart 2. I’m not convinced I went small enough with my needle to get the gauge I like. Its a little bit loose compared to what I was looking for. I am hoping this can be resolved during blocking.

5/18/16-- I’ve been working on this sporadically over the past week. I’ve finished the 2nd chart and inserted a lifeline. I am anticipating only being able to finish 4-5 rows of chart 3 before having to bind off.

5/22/16 Was able to make it to row 112 in Chart 3. Used this bind off: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGHItYwr1us since its one of my favorites. It is stretchy, but looks very neat and tidy.

Unblocked dimensions: 33in x 15in
Dimensions after blocking: 48in x 18in
