Oddly Proportioned?
Posted by amy under knitting

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.

Your work looks good. Maybe it was the pattern that had the instructions reversed. By the way, on my computer your comment page is almost illegible - black on dark grey. Also, the form to fill in name and all that didn’t appear at all until I tried to post.
