CO. The biggest project ever. I’m excited!!!

4 May
Finished body and tried it on.
It looks a little shorter, though I got the gauge directed.
Is it going to lengthen when I finish the skirt, because of weight of itself? Or, am I taller than the lady modeling for this pattern?
Anyway, it’s OK for now.
I’ll adjust the length of skirt, if it is necessary.

9 May
Gudrun-the designer of this dress- gave me a helpful comment! Considering her advice, my height (5’7”), my ideal length of skirt, and so on, I’ve decided to knit additional rounds.

Repeated the first 12 rounds of the first skirt panel.

First skirt panel done.

17 May
Wow! Tunic length is so cute!
But, I’ll hang on to get dress length.
Now yarn is short and I have to order more.

27 June
Away from this project about a month!
I’m charged with energy and came back.

Repeated the first 12 rounds of the 2nd skirt panel same as the 1st.

7 July
Yarn is short again…orz

27 July
Now doing the never-ending-picot-bind-off at bottom hem… But it’s the last row!!!
