Yes, yes, it’s only been 4 months

Remember this? Well, it happened again, although this time, they smashed Nate’s car window and stole his Franklin day planner. Jerks.

So I’m in a hurry this morning to post, then we’re off to the glass shop. Again.

There it is. Abby’s Harry Potter Sweater. She’ll be wearing it for the next 20 years. It’s humongous, but I was going for oversized, so it’s fine. Her first response was, “It’s a FAT sweater!” Whatever. That being said, she didn’t want to take it off at bed time last night, and was bummed we wouldn’t let her sleep in it. And it’s on her body at school today, even though I haven’t sewn a “plea to return” label in the back yet. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that it comes home.

So, remember my rant on Friday about size? Well, I measured a fleece pullover that Abby wears. It was 33 inches across the chest. I knit the 32 inch size sweater (and my gauge is right on), and it hangs like a circus tent. I have no faith in measuring garments that already fit.

I’m glad she likes it.

Yesterday, I started on a doll for my sister. It’s completely groovy. I’ll show you tomorrow.
