Notes

Birthday cast-on 2019. Stalled in the summer, then finished!

Ripped out lace as this would be too short with my long torso if I lifted up my arms, due to the dropped armhole. Added 16 rows of basic yo lace pattern in the middle.

Ended up with 252 instead of 260 body stitches.

Sleeve- 70 stitches on hold. Picked up 12 plus 2 gap.

Holy Crap - this yarn stretches. The holes were showing my white tummy but now are below my pant-line, so no need for a tank.

I pinned out the hem and sleeve bottoms, and the yarn has sprung back, so no fancy points. OK with me.
