Notes

Adapting to seamless.

Problem: right now at 6 month pregnant (ETA: same measurements at 9 months), my bust size is 38in (97 cm), which is almost 3in more than usual. I suspect this will be even bigger during breastfeeding (ETA: Still 38in at 1 month post-partum). My hips are 103 cm (40in) instead of 90cm.

Am I going to stay that way ? Should I knit for my pre-pregnancy body and assume that ease will be enough to accomodate post-partum changes ? Or maybe I should just wait a bit after the birth to knit clothes for myself …

ETA at 9 months:
Oh well, let’s try it anyway, I want something for meeee. I’m doing size 34.25in, which should end up being 36.3in with my Waffle gauge. I’ll adapt the button band and/or the side shaping if it looks too small. Worst case scenario, I get less than 2in negative ease now, and hopefully more ease in the long term.

Seamless body: cast on 172st. Knit until the body is 42cm long.
Seamless sleeves: cast on 40st, knit inside out.

At 1 month post-partum:
What is knitting ??? Is it one one those “free time” things ??? I’m doing sleeves increases wherever.

At 2 months post-partum:
It is finished and the fit is comfortable but not too roomy.
