Things were going so
swimmingly with the February Lady that I almost -
almost - convinced myself that I did not need to try it on once I made it past the armholes. But I did. And that extra inch I thought I needed in the yoke? It is gone now. I may have broad shoulders, but not
that broad. I ripped back to just below the eyelet row. I have almost recovered all that lost work, and the fit is much better now.
I am still a bit concerned about the sleeves, especially since I want to make them longer. My plan is to replace the innermost 7-stitch pattern repeat with plain stockinette and gradually reduce the width of the stockinette "insert" until I reach the elbow. Then the extra length should not be too bell-shaped. What do you think?
