Another Project Completed
I started this top from knitty.com a while back with the intention of giving it to my neice for her birthday, which was back in July. I substituted yarns, and trying to pull it over the Bug's head to see how it looked last night, I realized that it was a bit too small (my neice is a couple of weeks younger than Lily and at least as big). The worst bit was right around the chest where the bottom of the smocking ends and the seams start. I ended up opening up the seams about an inch and then adding a crochet edge in the contrasting color all the way around the arm holes. I can get it on the Bug now, and it doesn't look half bad. I guess if it doesn't fit my niece I can offer to fix it for Xmas. I'm just really disappointed because I put a lot of work in on this and was very excited about it. Here's a photo:
I haven't decided whether my next project is going to be the Christmas stocking I've been talking about forever or a little something for myself. I was trying to talk myself into giving up knitting for a bit, since I'm just so busy right now, but I find I can't...
