I just figured out yesterday that I am going to have to rip back the ribbing on my orangina (for what... the third time?) because it still donesn't look right... oh, make that tink back because I wasn't smart enough to put in a lifeline there. <BR/>I think that it is one thing to have a realistic body image (am I healthy? Fit?) and another to know your own body well enough to craft garments for it! I think that watching my mom modify garments for me when I was growing up has helped me to understand where things will usually need tweaking for me... a bit here in the shoulders... not too long in the waist... but what she did with sewing doesn't always translate to knitting. Knitting just has so many variables! Well, hang in there :) Thanks for helping us all see the humor in our sizing issues!Rosinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806801773705917132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22936647.post-15558162073779884272007-07-20T03:31:00.000-07:002007-07-20T03:31:00.000-07:00I feel for you!

It seems like knitting disasters do land one on top of another. I think it's time for you to take a sock knitting break. :)Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623913436571068154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22936647.post-44505338052022726292007-07-19T11:29:00.000-07:002007-07-19T11:29:00.000-07:00Laugh...

With my retro shrug I felt like I was able to really get a sense of whether it would fit or not as I went along. I blocked mine out a bit, but that lengthened it more down the back, not so much elbow to elbow. So, trust your gut here. When you get half way through the total inches, it should reach half way across your back. Good luck with your re-try!LizKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18170454621609990951noreply@blogger.com
