Whelp this sat for a couple of weeks, waiting for some quiet time to pin the pieces together.
So after confirming that I know the crochet slip stitch, I clipped the pieces together, being careful to match the rows from the bottom...
There is a mismatch of 6 rows between the front and back floral panels.
While it was blocking, I just thought the back panel was more stretchy than the front ones. sigh.
After sitting in time out a little while longer, I re-pinned the panels,
and ripped out the 6 extra rows. I think I will re-block these before stitching together.
I began stitching the upper and lower panels together... because this is the order in the instructions..
While the seem is looking fine, I began to worry about the 3 extra stitches on each of the front panels.... I confirmed that the stiches cast on for each section of the upper panels matches the number cast on for the lower panel... but I did not take into account these 3 extra stitches.
So I don't know if this pattern was Tech Edited or not. I don't believe it was graded well, or maybe it was released prior to testing each size.
Other than a delta for casting on, and a few large categories on sizing, I don't see the detailed instructions for each size, and I've already mentioned a few sets of instructions that are not quite correct.
Anyway, at this point, I've ordered some more stitch markers/pins for the Upper-Lower join, but I have a feeling that the lower panel will need to be 6 stiches narrower... if so, that means ripping out and re-making the entire piece.
This will be going into timeout for a while and there is now little chance it will be ready to wear before the snow flies. :-/
Happy(?) Fiber Arts Friday.
