1940 Valerie jumper - bodice, up to the armholes!



Just a quick catch-up before the weekend on the Valerie jumper:


Knitting in round this is what the sides look like. I increased by make ones, picking up and knitting the loop of the previous row. (more details on how to do this under the tab 'knitting hints'.


At the end of skein 3 (at about armhole height). I really love the 'dense'  structure and the 3-dimensional effect of the diamond pattern:




The front neckline, slightly altered. I widened it a bit but kept the shape which is somewehere between a V and a U




finished front:
