It is amazing how much can be accomplished if one has a week off from work with a modicum of childcare available (aka a house-guest).
Twist (it now has a name) is moving along quite well. I have finished the bodice and have seamed the shoulders. I took no notes, so there is very little chance of this ever becoming a pattern. Besides, I have no desire to crank out the necessary numbers for multiple sizes.
But the neck edging is killing me. Following all knitting tips, I slipped the first stitch of each row to "facilitate" picking up stitches around the neck. Meh. This resulted in too few stitches and it looked home-made. Double meh.

Out it came. I am trying to pick up double the stitches. We'll see how it goes. I flipped through Knitting on the Edge and found a couple of options for the edging in lieu of a K2P1 ribbing which is nice, but very, very boring.

Your Twist looks so gorgeous already - what a beautiful pattern, and I adore the colour you're using! I seem to run into problems with neck shapings all the time too - but I'm sure your plan on how to do it will work out perfectly!
Happy Knitting!
Wow, twist is beautiful!!! :)
