What the......?????

Where to begin..... Well, I spent all evening pushing to finish the Waist Cincher Top from Knitting Lingerie Style. And despite measuring, and measuring, and measuring....see that freakishly tiny armhole? And freakishly tiny neckhole? That should be plunging neckline.


Yeah. The only thing plunging are my hopes of looking fabulous in my chocolate brown sweater. That I cannot wear. Because it's completely f**ked up!!!!

Basically, I needed to lengthen the stockinette section by at least two inches, and length the armholes by another two inches as well. So I'm 4 inches off.

Four. Flipping. inches. Gagh!

*Groans. Sighs. Goes off to take a shower to wash the smell of failure away....*

Chocolate Waist-Cincher Top

I've started working on the Waist-Cincher Top, since Jen and I are both part of the Knitting Lingerie Style KAL and it was high time I got cracking. So, this is where I'm at:

It's really just humming along, I imagine that I'll finish the back panel tonight and maybe get started on the front. There is a slight nagging feeling in the back of brain saying that it's going to be a bit big for me, but I'm not sure yet. If it is, I know plenty of people who would be happy to have it.

If there was complaint I have about the book, it would be that there aren't enough small sizes. Most are sized 34" for the smallest, and I'm a 32". So I play around with gauge, but I'm painfully aware that I'm gambling. I'm really interested to see how other people's projects turn out- sometimes a pattern doesn't really wow me, but then I see someone's version of it and I immediately fall in love. Which is as per usual, on any good KAL!
