I've been stalking the Jane Richmond patterns since I saw one of my all time favorite bloggers knit hers... I swooned, then I learned how to knit, and I'm finally making my own. I'm using it as my first project of the year because even though I cast on at the very end of last year I'm starting it over... So here are my notes so far and then I'm going to forget them...
Old notes:
12/27/13~ Going to pick out the yarn tonight and hopefully CO… I’m going to get some Lion Brand because it’s cheap, I can get it tonight, and it’s soft… I would totally use the rest of my green Knit Picks but I know I don’t have enough… Now for color… Navy to wear to
Went with navy :)
1/1/14~ tried it on last night and it does in fact fit… only hit to under boobish area so there is still plenty of knitting to do. It is a very fast knit though, just wish I wasn’t so tired from the holidays so I could work on it more :/
1/4/14~ Worked about 2” of the bottom ribbing last night… I’m so sick of ribbing! I’m really liking how it looks though! I hope it looks good on me…
1/5/14~ finished all the ribbing last night and BO… tried it on and I think it’s a little short for my fluffy self :( I tried it on a bunch of times while it was in the needles too… I’m disappointed. On the plus side it looks good so I have 2 options that I’m going to think about finish the sleeves and put it away till I loose some fluff OR undo the binding, rip out all the ribbing and add to it more… I’m torn. I really don’t want to do either.
On the plus side I’m good at the sewn bind off now and I like how stretchy it is :)
1/6/14~ Update! I'm frogging and starting over!! I'm kinda happy with that decision too. I'm going to try my had at making fit better with the help of some shaping for my big boobs and hips.
