I’ve knitted the body up to the arms and split between the front and back.  I really love the fit on this, there’s definitely negative ease but it’s not tight.  My gauge is compressed, plus I wanted it a bit longer than 13″, so I worked another 12 rows beyond the pattern directions to get to the length I needed.  So the lace pattern is worked a bit further around the back.  I think this will be ok, but if not, I’ll just end the lace and work the remaining rows in the 2×3 rib.   I confess that I’m getting a bit bored with this project and toyed with the idea of making the sleeveless version.  But I have enough yarn for the sleeves, so I may as well use it!
