Notes

I Loved the shape and front panel, and Sierra is one of my all time favorite yarns, so I had to make this. The drape neck actually seemed more like an awkward after thought than a true choice, so I decided to modify it to reflect a collar style I spotted watching “Miss Fisher” on TV. I went around the whole neck twice in garter but purling across the center 25 sts., then bound those off on the third row purl-wise, then completed the remaining sts. in garter to the 10 rows total on the edge and sleeves. I love the neck shape now. All in all I was pretty happy with it. I might have made it a smidge bigger at the bust had I recognized the armcye shape was so shallow ( I would have added a little 4-5 st. flat section to the base), but it still fits well enough to make me happy.
