Those of you who know me know that I am taller than average — 5’10” or so. I finished the back of the Sunrise Circle Jacket and I do believe that it will fall somewhere south of my derriere, with the armholes at about the waist. My row gauge appears to be fairly close, so I have a couple of options: a) forge on and hope for the best or, b) try to rework the pattern and agonize endlessly about how it will turn out. I have chosen Option A. The pattern is too weird to do too much reworking. I have decided that since it is a fast knit and not too expensive, I’m just going to go for it. Several blogs discuss the sizing of this sweater and even the designer got into the mix, so I am not the only one with “concerns.”  However, I figure that since I am at the upper limit for height, if it’s too long on me, heaven help the others who are knitting it! I am going to hold off blocking the back until I am more sure about it in case I need to rip it out.
Update on the Wedding Purse: the bride-to-be loves it and wants me to make two tiny versions for the ring bearer to use for carrying the rings. I’m going to use crochet cotton because it’s finer and will look more delicate. More on those as they are created.
The sad news for me is I cannot be at knitting this week — it’s those darn kids again!! John is working and someone has to feed the little darlings!
