It was all I could think of, fixing this thing, and I was looking for an easy, "not much fitting required" kind of project.

Intriguingly, I haven't tried it on. I'm relying on math this time. Reason being that I'm not prepared to go any more off-road than I already have. If it's too big, I'll give it away. If it's too small, I'll give it away. At this point, I'm knitting it for the experience. But my math tells me it's going to fit. Now, whether the style flatters is an entirely different matter.<br /><br />Note: I usually try on obsessively when knitting top down and make alterations, as required. It's useful but only to a certain extent. Once the sweater is done, its finished weight, blocking, changes in tension and wear all change the fit. <br /><br />More often than not, any sweater I knit grows a size.K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-64252799581778114902014-03-17T18:12:58.521-04:002014-03-17T18:12:58.521-04:00Speeding right along!

Never doubted you'd take charge of this pattern and you're obviously doing so -- and altering it to fit your preferences while you're at it.

I'm glad that you made this document -- I'm trying to make a bolero next -- I think this would work fantastic with your shape -- you have a tiny waist and this should emphasize it (Hourglass, right?) from the pattern style, seemingly (although I see your reservations). I can't tell yet about the ease -- I'm struggling with fit and knitting too. What did you think when you tried it on and what were your observations so far?
