I know this. So, why do I knit most of the back in the recommended needle size? Who knows. Some sort of sick proof. I also need to up the size a bit, as my sis is a small, but not XXS. It's gotta fit. It's pretty though, even though it must go back to the drawing board shortly. The pattern is from Vogue Knitting Winter 2005. It's #11 and the one with the mega sized bobbles which I am going to tastefully edit out.
In order to not think about the re-do of the above project which is just sad, I've started another project for me, me, me. To take my mind off of Angie's Aran, I figured out all of the changes for sizing on the below project. The largest size was for a 43" and I want it at 50" which means that there were some serious edits that needed to occur to the pattern. I enjoyed it though being a math geek. So, now it should all be perfectly reworked... hopefully.
This is a project I've wanted to do for a very long time, and I really have no idea why I haven't ever done it. Anyway, I started a day or so ago, and look how far it's come! Really cool. I even saw a really cool way to cast-on using Kitchener stitch which was simple. (And no, of course, now I can't find the link.) I actually used waste yarn and cut it out later.Below is how far I got to yesterday. For two days on this so far, it's going swimmingly. The pattern is from Vogue Knitting Winter 2003/04. It's the Fringed Collar Jacket in Lion Brand Homespun. No, I'm not doing the Fringe. Really? Homespun frays out so fast if not fastened it'd look like crap in 10 seconds. It probably will be good for spring, because Homespun is not very warm, but I love the way this jacket looks. We'll see if it looks as good when I'm done.
