alas, it’s not enough. this is the center panel to my poetry in stitches sweater and it’s measuring.. wait for it.. 30 inches! that’s a pretty long sweater, folks.
so, i’ll admire the prettiness of it, but i’m afraid it’ll have to be knit again. one question: take out a repeat or go down a needle size or two? (that would mean size 1s or 0s – though the yarn could handle it as it’s practically laceweight yarn.) i have the rest of the body (the whole lice part), measuring about 20 inches, on hold, waiting to see how this center panel goes length-wise so now’s the chance to make it a shorter or longer sweater. (it’s supposed to measure 25 inches long according to the pattern.) whatcha think?
