Notes

So much ribbing. Keep going on to other things because I am hating the deep 1x1 ribbing. Once past the ribbing it’s a very easy diagonal lace pattern.

Used every scrap of the 750 m of yarn I had. The pattern says 720m so be wary. Had to resort to sewing thread for sewing up as the ends weren’t enough to sew up the top completely. I’m glad I did the small. I did make a mistake adding a few lines to the body which I then had to duplicate in the back but I also did shorter bands than the pattern specified (I could see it was going to be touch and go with the yarn), I worked to the length needed to fit slightly stretched around the neck and arms.

Very comfortable to wear but slips off shoulders, so really needs bra strap keepers sewn in.
