Notes: 34/36 modified.
This really only took me a little over two weeks but it was put on hold while I worked on other projects which had deadlines.
Modifications: added a couple extra decreases for the waist and a couple more increases for the bust. Have to with an hourglass.
I added a k1 at the beginning and end of every row of the pieces; this makes for a neat selvedge edge - this makes sewing much more pleasant and smooth. I also think like a seamstress so traditional bottom up construction in pieces is just fine with me. Seams also lends a garment structure.
To work the wraps I didn’t move the stitches back and forth between the needles as per the instructions, but put the stitches to be wrapped onto a cable needle and then wrapped the yarn around the stitches 3 times, anti-clockwise, easy-peasy! I’ve used this technique on a cardigan I designed so I knew this shortcut :)
The pattern is easy to follow and clear. Oh, and the ribbing to cable transition works out very nicely,Craft
