Here we are! Sorry, there was another in-between photo that I failed to post earlier due to a busy weekend (post on that later).
How is it going so far? Don’t look too closely, though, lest you see all the boo-boos I have in the lace part. Also, note the bumps on the right and left. Those are completely unexpected! Those are where I reduced for the waist. Ya live and learn, I suppose, and then hope that they disappear during the blocking stage.
However….things will probably be frogged back a bit again. I did put in some increases after the waist portion and now it feels a little bit big on the top. A normal person would probably feel just fine in this, but I’m not so generous up there (belly area, well, that’s another story).
I haven’t decided yet if I should keep going or if I should take away three rows’ worth of lace and eliminate the increases…still contemplating. I almost want to just keep going to see what it ends up looking like after it’s said and done. Maybe I’ll just go back one set of lace and see…a compromise, but is it a good one?
