Milena Work in Progress

My Milena has been coming along (with plenty of questions, mistakes, and obsessive note-taking along the way).  I took the hard route with this pattern-  it's rather light on details, but I guess that might help prepare me if I want to knit a vintage pattern someday!


I am worried about having enough yarn, lol, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it!
The other thing is that, as other people noted, it's a bit tight in the armholes.  For now I am trying out just adding extra rows in the shoulders.  Hopefully that won't mess up the look of the neckline too much by lowering it.  Of course, if I was desperate I could always use the daring technique of my friend at From the Purl Side (a new knitting blog I'm enjoying).  She cut her yarn- so brave, so brave!

But seriously, I don't get knitting from the bottom up.  Way too nerve-wracking, lol.  Fingers are crossed this thing turns out!
