2011-03-04- not the best FO photo in the world, but i really need to send the package out so it will have to do. not totally thrilled with the neck work but even though most of her family knits (hi “mom”!, hi aunt betsy! hi becky!) i hope the imperfections won’t be noticed.

2011-03-03- finally blocking. sigh hope it’ll dry quick enough so that i can box it up and mail it out tomorrow.
2011-02-26- finished motzei shabbos and even wove in all the ends. debating a sc on bottom because i did it differently. nervous because my row gauge was off and i didn’t really think about it until after i seamed the front to the back and tried it on. Will probably play with blocking. guess i should finish and send it off. :)
2011-02-06- finished front to second purl bump (a la back).
2011-01-21- back at 13” switching to 3.75mm. is cotton. will stretch. hope I don’t regret it and have to rip back and reknit with 4mm. also, am not binding off and then picking backup. will purl another row instead.
2011-01-16- 7.5 inches of back body finished.
Tension = 18.5” unblocked. back measures approx 21.5” worried i should have gone down another needle size or CO for 30”. it is cotton & will stretch out. Hmm… will probably knit “body” at this size and go down to smaller needles for the tank portion.
