Finished Audrey

I started Audrey 9/2 and finished 9/12. It was rather manic knitting. I followed the decreases and increases as stated in the pattern. I knit bracelet-length sleeves (I knit 5 rows after the last increase before starting the armhole shaping) and shortened the front and back a little since I'm pretty short. I knit the smalles size and knit 17 pattern repeats on sz 7 needles. I was worried it wasn't going to fit well around the neck so I think I stretched it out too much at the beginning and as a result had to bunch it a little towards the end. If I were a good rabbit, I would have unseamed it and started over.

You can read more about the knitting of it here although I didn't post much about the process since so many people had already posted wonderful progress pics. It was great to have the archive of this group to help me figure out what I should do for the decreases, increases, and neckband. Happy Knitting:)

Fast and lovely! My poor Audrey wonders why I can't get her knit up that fast. Congrats on making it to the finish line!
