A Week's Progress

Last week

This week: 

I didn't get as far as I would have liked. There was an increase row every three rows. As of last Monday I had four increase rows to go. I did one on Monday, one on Tuesday, one on Wednesday, and one on Thursday.

That's very, very slow. But I was so tired last week that I'm going to call any forward progress a win.

On Friday I got started on the part where the top divides into bra cups. So, not too bad.

I've got a little under a month to finish the top if I want it done in time for niece's birthday. I wouldn't say I like my chances, but at least I'm making progress. 

The pattern is well-written. I have employed a few tricks I know so that I don't lose my place. That blue marker that's just hanging out on the piece is my reminder of which is the public side of the work. (In something like this, it'll be easy to lose track.) 

I hope to be working on the back of the piece at this time next week. We'll see if I actually get that far.

    1. That happens sometimes. You'll get back to it when you're ready.

  2. I'm sure you'll get it done. You've made decent progress, even if it's wasn't as much as you had hoped.

  4. Looks good. Great idea to know what is, as you say, the public side!

    1. Yes, it's helpful when the shaping only happens on one side.

  5. Good luck! I like the expression "the public side". Yes, that's important!

    1. There's been a discussion as to the terms "right" and "wrong" side. I decided to use the alternative.
