Gauge = 9.5sts/ inch & 6.5rows/in-- slightly off so I’m going to knit xsmall but cast on like small.
I decided to add lace detail to arms. I added when the increases for the arm were just big enough to accomodate. P2, K1, P2, K1, YO, S1, K2TOG, PSSO, YO, K1, PS, K1, P2 (3rd row only)
For rows 1, 2 and 4: P2, K1, PS, K10, P2, K1, P2

IT IS OVER 100 DEGREES EVERYDAY. THIS IS WAY TOO HOT TO KNIT ON RIGHT NOW.

Picked it back up. It’s still too hot, but I want to knit something else later this month so I must slog along.
I’ve separated for the arms and knit about three inch down the body. I decided to knit the sleeves before continuing on the body. I’m going to knit full sleeves with lace detail.

I’ve knit all but about 6 inches of the first sleeve today and all of the skein that was attached.
OH MY GOD! I don’t think I will have enough yarn to finish this project!!!!! I only have three and a bit left to finish this sleeve, the whole other sleeve and the body from the breast to the hip.
I may need to rip back out arm if I find more yarn in Amorosa that is at least close in color and reknit in the sleeves in the new yarn and the rest of the body in the original lot.

Found two more skeins, different dye lots, but a close match.
10-9-11
Finished first sleeve in old yarn and will knit second sleeve also all in old yarn.

Bind off using Jennies Surprisingly stretchy BO
I should have done increases after my waist as the whole lower half will close “butt” refuses too.
