This is my travel project this summer. I made two swatched, one at 3.5mm and one at 3.25mm. I liked the fabric at 3.25 much better. I was still a bit bigger gauge than the pattern so I chose to knit the smallest pattern size to get a size around 34” bust

Picked up stitches around front and collar: 257
Half way through picking up the stitches, I feel a little tug and the neddle comes off in my hand and I realize the cable broke and I now have about 20 live stitches! I found a DPN in my bag, switched the live stitches to those and quickly bought a new pair of addi lace of the right size. I then had to transfer all the stitches to the new needle and continue. By the time I was done, I had been at it for 3.5 hours!

I was hoping to finish the sleeves today but I had too many errands and ended up only getting to the beginning of the ribbing.
