Well, Kiwi and I have learned a lot about each other. Our pace together has been swift - and we are hoping to maintain that pace. Kiwi has learned that while I am very good about reading directions, I don't always follow them. Right off the bat, I knit and purled the first four rows, instead of just knitting. We both agreed we liked the effect and have continued with it. Hopefully, this won't prove problematic for us in the challenges to come.
Kiwi and I also suspect that they used white yarn in the pattern picture to make it difficult to see how much bra was really showing through. Since neither Kiwi or I really like sewing, this may become a garment that is worn as a top layer, rather than just a top. We shall see.
