Since I'm one of the Audrey crew that decided to make Ms. Hargreaves' decreases as is, I thought it might be nice to show you all what I did now that the body is complete. Despite the fact that there are several variations available to you through the other Audrey-ettes, if you are new to decreases, or just new to decreases on 2x2 ribbing, this might be a decrease method that you'll want to learn - it's pretty commonly used and I think it gives a nice result. (Though I can't wait to see how Becky's short row alternative works out!)
If you just want to see the decreases, click here. I've lined them up so that you can view the front and reverse sides as you would on the needles. If you want the full deal, read my extended entry. I've spent some time on this, but it's a lot easier to knit than describe, so let me know if you see an error. I'm good, but I'm not infallible!
Julia,
Thanks so much for writing them out and I love the color of your Audrey. Mine is all sewn together with the exception of the neckband which I am now knitting. I really hope to have a picture up this week. Never did that before so that should be interesting. Thanks to everyone for all the inspiration. It's awesome.

Excellent tutorial and photos! If I do a version with darts, I'll be using this as a guide.
