Not a great FO pic, but I'm glad this project is done (ignore the paint swatches on the wall).
Modifications:
-a provisional crochet cast-on of 76 stitches; after the left side is done, I went back to do the flare.
-made back narrower (~6-7.5 each side of back), to fit mine.
-picked up 120 sts (16 for each underarm) for bottom, 88 for top.
-did twisted rib for 2-3/8" (6 cm).
-for body, extended past 8" to 11".
Regrets:
-if I were to do this again, I would have made the arm circumference narrower and possibly straight, because even with the bell sleeves, you can't really tell.
-I did less ribbing than called for, but it was still a bit too high around the back of my neck and needs to be folded down or something, I could have done just two inches.
-it's hard to tell whether I made the back the right length due to the curling. I tried to factor that in, but where I live it's so humid that nothing will stay blocked.
Love:
-the Madelinetosh Tosh Lace. The actual base yarn is decent, not splitty or annoying at all, at least with my cheapo Knitpicks needles, and the color is divine. Just beautiful.
Don't Love:
-how it looks. I spent four months on this and I don't find it particularly flattering. And it's so thin it's mostly useful for something strapless. I don't own anything strapless. But it's done, so I can move on with my life now!
