Khaaaaaaaan!

October 4th, 2004 No comments

My daughter’s kindergarten teacher is wonderful in finding ways to work with my somewhat difficult daughter, so I wanted to do something nice for her. She has a 16 month old son. I’m making a cotton roll sweater for him, and have finished the back and front and grafted one shoulder together.

It’s too short.

No, really, it’s like tummy-baring short. The problem is the rows of stockinette and reverse stockinette, which make the rolls. It rose up on itself as it sat after I’d knitted it. So when I measured 11 inches for the back, it rode up to, like, 9 inches relaxed. So now I gotta figure out what to do. Grr.

My first sweater. I should have expected issues. Tomorrow this will all seem like a learning experience, but right now I’m sleepy enough to be irritated.
