Seetaa no Monogatari Part 2.5

Since my last blog, I ripped out what I did, re-casted on 126 stitches and divided everything up using a 33% division rate (42 stitches for the front and back, including the seam stitches & 19 stitches for the sleeves).  It was turning out tighter than my first version but the collar and where everything appeared to be sitting seemed more normal and correct.  

However, since it was tighter (mostly because I was so irritate that it didn't appear to look right and I was increasing every row), I thought I'd stop and visit Kim to show her what I did (meagerly) over the weekend.  I would've gone ballistic if I had kept going only to find out next Saturday that I should've been doing something else! :P  Better to be safe than sorry, after all. :P

She advised me to rip out what I got (again, thank goodness it was only 4 rows deep) and re-cast on using her division (at a 37% rate): 46 stitches for the front and back, 4 seam stitches, and 15 stitches for the sleeves.  She said that if I like the rolled collar (which I did), I should cast on then do 4-6 regular stockinette stitch rows before I start divvying up everything.  And, I should be increasing every other row. :P  Once I get a good 2 inches of material, I'll remeasure my gauge (again).  It better be 5.25 stitches per inch! :P

So, I'm gonna give this new count a go at it. :)  We'll see how much I get done before my next class. :)  I need a nap now! :P
