Gauge 23st=4”
5 3/4 st to the inch

Gauge hell. After knitting half the back at 41.5 I decided it was not going to be big enough.

7/4
So take two. I have finally decided to go up 2 sizes to accommodate the smaller gauge.

Size knitting is 44.5

I want to be getting these sizes:

Bust 37 1/2
Waist 36.5
Hips 42

6/23
Casted on tonight. Crossing my fingers on the sizing

7/18 done with the back. Doing the numbers for the 44.5 size with the measurements I need is working out great. Since my row gauge is smaller I am adding some rows between increases and decreases so the measurements come out right. It is working very well.

Aug.1 after looking at the back and blocking it I think it is a bit on the small size. So I am going up another size for the front knowing I will probably have to knit the back over again. I kept the length measurments the same as the back as that all worked out fine. It was the width across the back of the sweater that I am most concerned about.

I have now finished both fronts and am starting the sleeves.
