i brought green gables with me to tuesday night knitting and managed to knit a couple rows last night during america's next top model. ahem. i can't help it! antm is like a car accident.anyway, i've knit maybe 6 rows of just plain st st (part C in the pattern) and i'm thinking that my sleeves are long enough. i might knit 2 more rows just to be certain but if i hold it up to where i think the neckline should be sitting, the sweater sleeve is the same length as my t shirt sleeve.
so i'm not even close to the 15 rows of part C with all the increases that go with it. (we've already established that i am not getting stitch gauge, i'm definitely not getting row gauge.) i need to take another look at the pattern and figure out if i can continue on with the fewer stitches. it'd be like making a medium upper part and an extra small lower part. that can't be good. or maybe it is pure genius!
when i'm done the next few rows and can try it on, i'll know if i need to frog. stay tuned!
have you read the yarn harlot's tale about being trapped at the chicago airport? it has everything! it'll make you laugh, make you cry, make your heart swell with pride. go read it!
i have my own tale of woe concerning chicago and the airport but it pales in comparison to stephanie's. at least she didn't puke in the middle of an El station at rush hour. or in the back of the cab on the way to the airport. i haven't had many truly bad days in my life but that day in chicago is right up there.

Nice work! I'm about four rows into the plain stockinette, and I'm thinking a bit about how I need to customize it. (ie: smaller bust)
But I think that a M top and small lower IS genius for a womanly figure!
Totally unrelated to your post: HI! This is the first time I have gone to your blog....But now, I will be a frequent flyer. You are a way better blogger than I! And you were apprensive. Silly you.
"womanly figure" heh. thanks hk! that's one way to put it.
and beckstar! welcome! of course i was apprehensive. it is a lot of pressure to be witty and entertaining and to have something to write about. but you know that.
awwww, but wasn't that day in chicago also one of the best days, because it really made us friends? hmmmm???
