06/06/2024 - I was going to try getting this done for the 4th of July holiday, but I quickly came to my senses and decided to just let it happen as it happened.

1. I gauge swatched with US3/3.25mm needles. Based on my swatch, I will knit the body with US4 /3.5mm and the i-cord with US3/3.25mm needles.
2. I tried out this backward loop cast on I saw demoed by @anike_aka_purl.and.knit for the front neck and armholes and it worked out really well.
3. I knit the extra rows suggested in the pattern to add length to the body before starting chart D.
4. I knit 2.5 cm of ribbing, then knit 2 set up rows and finished with a tubular bind off.
