Notes

Swatched originally with size 8 needles, got stitch gauge with size 9.

11-May: Cast on with size 9/5.5mm needles. Used German Twisted Cast on, since type of cast on was not specified. Completed through round 30 today.

13-May: Added length to make up for shorter row gauge. Working on the lower body. Approx. 10” at center back to the armhole cast-on (6 stitches each side).

15-May: Finished the lower body, started ribbing.

16-May: Bottom ribbing flipping up. Ripped back and used the method Patty Lyons recommends in “Ask Patty - What the Flip” from Modern Daily Knitting in 2020, https://www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/ask-patty-w... (setup row of SL 1, P1, around). Bound off using “Jeny’s Surprisingly Stretchy Bind-Off” (or JSSBO, https://knitty.com/ISSUEfall09/FEATjssbo.php). The ribbing stretches and “snaps back” once released.

17-May: For size Large, 295g used, approx. 675yd. Size 9/5.5mm needles for body, and6/4.0mm for ribbing. Got stitch guage but not row guage (14 sts x 23 rows).

Pictures are shown on two models, with bust measurements of 37” and 44”. Test knit.
