Notes

This is my project of doom. Started out more than a year ago, had another pattern, had to frog about seven times due to sizing problems, chose this pattern, love it, but it’s a bit exhausting. Definitely want it to be done by christmas.

Did some changes as to adding shaping at the waist and intending to knit a set-in sleeve in the round. Worked out once, should work out here again. I’m confident.

Update 17 December: Almost done. In fact everything is done except for the neck thing. And even this is finished, but rather too wide, so I’ll have to ponder for a bit whether it’s better to block or to rip out and make it smaller.

Update 17 December, later same evening: Ripped out the neck and redid it, immediately thereafter threw the thing into water for victory blocking. My project of doom is done, done, done!
