I finally cast off my corset last night, while catching up on the new Showtime series, Sleeper Cell. I quickly stripped off my clothes, standing in my living room in just a bra and jeans. I put my arms through the holes and could not believe my eyes. My armholes are located about 4 inches too far forward, so now the bust is way too tight and there is enough room for two of me in the back. I checked, double checked and tripple checked my instructions and there doesn’t seem to be an error there. I checked with my husband, and he doesn’t seem to think I am oddly proportioned. What am I to do?

I am thinking I pretend this is a fair isle and go for my first steeking experience. cutting horizontally rather than vertically, then graft the previous armholes togther. I will not rip this back, the yarn just (knitpicks andean silk) will not obey, and as I don’t know anyone with boobs on their back and not their front, I can’t regift it. Stay tuned for late breaking news.
