more on the fluffy sweater

I’ve been trucking along on the fluffy sweater.

fluffy back and the measuring tape

Get it? Red tape! Waha!

I decided to make it a little bit longer in the body than the pattern called for. I increased the length from the band to the armholes by an inch and a half so that the sweater will be 21.5″ instead of 20″. This is to keep me from baring my midriff at inappropriate times. Inappropriate times like when I raise my arms.

I should be able to finish the back this weekend, but every time I say things like that I end up not working on projects for a week. I hope I haven’t cursed myself ’cause I really want to start on the Must Have Cardigan – and I’m not the only one. As an aside, she’s also got a great detail of the popcorn on the Tyrolean Cardigan! Laurin’s new camera is really turning her into quite the shutterbug! The Must Havers have even begun a support group! You’ll have to become a member of Yahoo to join it, but isn’t that a Hoot?

Actually, I stand corrected. You don’t have to be a member of Yahoo to get in their groups. You only have to know the name of the group and then send an email addressed to: groupname-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and you’re all set! Thanks Jessica!
