Notes

We’re in a mess, decorating, as you can see!

Body weighs 152g, without the neck or sleeves.
I’ve used 106g, 598m, of the Rennie (194g left ), and 54g, 594m of the Norli (41g left…they were each slightly under 25g).

I must’ve lost 8g of spinning oil from the Rennie whilst knitting, that’s normal…and more will be lost after blocking.

Finished weight (unblocked), 228g.
Norli, 82g (907m)
Rennie, 156g (858m). I’ve lost a total of 10g of spinning oil whilst knitting.
Finished weigh (blocked), also 228g.

Finished measurements:
Bust, 38”
Inside sleeve, 19.5”
Length (from top of shoulder, next to neck), 24” at the back, 23.5” at the front.

I picked up a total of 108 sts for the neck finishing…
18-11-23-11-18-23.

The only mods were to knit an extra 4 rows of ribbing for the back hem, and I made the sleeves longer. My arms are long, so I decreased every 11th round, down to 46 sts (1 extra decrease), then knitted 8 rounds before starting the rib, for an inside sleeve measurement of 19.5”

Leftover yarn:
Norli, 17g
Rennie, 144g
