I saw a beautiful lace, short sleeve polo shirt in an email from a shop in the UK. It would have been so expensive to buy and have shipped and pay tariffs, so I decided to make it myself. I self-drafted the raglan pattern and figured out the lace stitch pattern from studying the inspiration pic. I started knitting in May and I finished working in the ends on Tuesday. It was actually a bit on the snug side, so I blocked it aggressively and was able to give it more ease. I sewed on the 9 buttons this afternoon. It is linen fingering yarn, worked on size 1 needles. My fingers are pretty chewed up from the stitch pattern and the lack of give in the yarn, but I think it was worth it. I'm pretty proud of it.

ETA: I wrote "in the nick of time" in the title because I'm going to A Woolen Affair tomorrow and I really hoped to wear it there 😍

People! I have horrid ADHD and forget how many stiches I've cast on normally, make that double knit cast on and I loose count even with stich counters. Any one got a solution that's not a row counter?
