Notes

July 2nd
Separate sleeves from body - 110 stitches for back,
114 Stitches for front, 6 stitches each for under the arms-
total of 236 Stitches app. 87 cm bust circumference
Plan to knit 3 cm plain,
then decrease 20 stitches over 10 cm -
i.e. 5x4 stitches every 5th row
add stripes at waist for 10 cm
increace again

Okay, though my first contiguous is a little on the wide side, I will give it another try - something Elfe-esk to use my leftover sockyarn from my Temptest.
Will make shoulders only 36 cm wide, only 16 cm neckline

July 17th
Finished knitting the body, ended with 5 rows of k2p2 ribbing and a crocheted cast off. Still rolls upwards, hope this will block out as it did for the cardigan. Total body length 56 cm. Bust width seems to be a lot better than with first try.

Started sleeves, picking up 10 stitches in total at under arm

July 20th
Finished knitting! Again - checking gauge inbetween would not have been such a bad idea, it is more 24 stitches for 10 cm, not 27. Accordingly, it is a bit on the wide side even before blocking - except for the sleeves, where I decreased 2 stitches every 5 rows which might have been too much. Well - it will be wearable, I think!

In addition, I think I will not have to do so much hip increasing, at least not at that length - measured again, so 90 cm around or even a bit less would be fine.

Again, the ribbing at the bottom curls up quite a lot, hope this will block out!

After washing, the curling hem is ok, sleeves are still a bit tight, but ok. And the yarn bleed like hell- the cloth you can see on the non-wearing photo were WHITE before washing!!!

Measurements before washing:
Length: 55 cm
Shoulder width: 38 cm
Armhole depth 20 cm
Neck opening 18 cm
waist 46 cm
bust 50 cm
Hip 52 cm
Arm length from armhole down: 28 cm

Total yarn used: Just 225 grams!
