Lucy

Isabell Kraemer has a new pattern.

Venia is worked seamlessly from the top down. Starting with the high neck, you then work some short rows to bring the front part of the neck down. Once the short row shaped neck is done, the upper part of the yoke is worked in the round until the final shoulder width is reached. Then both the front and the back are worked (separately) flat to underarm. At underarm both front and back are joined to work the body top down in the round to the bottom ribbing. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the arm openings to work the sleeves in Stockinette stitch top down in rounds to the cuffs. 
You will find stitch counts after each increase or decrease row/round. 

Modification notes 
Body and sleeves can be lengthened or shortened by working more or less rounds before starting the ribbing. Size can be adjusted by working widthwise from the size you need for your chest, and lengthwise from the size you need for your upper arms. Upper arm circumference is determined by the armhole length - work more or less rows for both front and back (follow instructions for a smaller/ bigger size) to adjust armhole length.

You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Lucy needs drops in her eyes. Jackson wanted to help.

My day with Lucy went well. After dad picked her up I ran to the store to meet Mr. FedEx. He brought two boxes - one from Della Q and one from Noro. We have all colours of Della Q Train Cases back in stock. With the shipment of Ito we have all kits for the Nightshift available again.

The Amazing Race Canada is on and I’m going back to Elah. A few more rows and I will be starting my ribbing.
