Did not do a provisional cast on, but 3 ridges of garter stitch (done in rows - I do not like garter in the row and feel that I am less likely to twist the cast on when I join for the round too early, so this is just fine).

Plan to do yarnover increases and would love to add some flare for the bodice - just have to see if I have enough yarn…

Septerated sleeves from the body. I am about halfway in my 50 g green ball of yarn. So I hope I will be able to finish this with the app. 70 g of grey which I still have.

I added 3 garter ridges before seperating the sleeves and used a single crochet cast off when I casted them off. This should be stretchy enough and I do not plan on any additional finishing for the sleeves.

Casted on 14 stitches below each underarm, as given in the pattern.

Tried it on for the first time - fit looks good so far! I am app. 7 cm below armholes and I assume I will have enough green for another 2-5 cm. So I will start to blend in the grey.

Finished! Did it quite short although I would have had more from the grey yarn, but liked it that way for a summer top. The cap sleeves rolled quite a bit before blocking, we will see how this turns out when dry. The weather forecast predicts again temperatures around 30 degrees, so I might actually wear this this year.

Hm. Not really content with the fit. The armholes are way to wide, the sleeves are still a little on the “ruffly” side… I doubt I will ever wear this, so I will probably look for somebody who will fill it better than me.
