Notes

Gauge ~ 3.75” x 20 sts. Therefore, I knit a 41.25” size to get a 38” bust. The fabric looked nicer at the gauge using US size 6’s.

Mods:
01.20.12--Knit for ~6.5” (6 repeats) at first instead of 3.5”.
01.23.12--Knit 2 repeats between last decrease and 1st increase for waist shaping. Increased every 8 rows instead of every 10. Made right (for left side of front/back)/left (for right side of front/back) leaning increases instead of m1s.
01.24.12--Knit 2 repeats between last increase and split for the arms. Split for the arms around 16.5”
01.25.12--Finished back/fronts. Blocking (per instructions!)
02.14.12--Finished the collar. I finished 1 sleeve a while ago (forget which date).
02.16.12--I just needed to dip into the 4th skein for the 2nd cuff. I thought this would exactly be the case, so I did the collar before I finished the 2nd sleeve because the 4th skein was significantly darker than the rest of the skeins. The color differences are truly crazily different. Even the 2 skeins that were similar were quite different. Growl.
