Now I have a back, two half-fronts, and two sleeves of *very nearly* the same size. Tomorrow, I will get out that book and try to sew it together. I think I will start at the neck. If it looks terrible, I will knit a collar onto it.

If I never knit that tight again it will be too soon. My hands hurt.

@Ailbhe: You know what? It’ll be perfectly wearable. Try to knit a bit tighter on the 3s – let less yarn through per stitch and you’ll be closer to what it would’ve been on 2s.

I broke the 2s, and am making do with measuring against the other sleeve and guessing. We Shall See! Only about 200 stitches to go. How bad can it be? I can always, er, something.

@Longtime:

@Ailbhe: Yay knitting! But no, 3mm is really, really UNLIKE 2mm! Difference between a jumper for O and a jumper for F, maybe. Which size did you break?

I broke my needles! Oh well, 3mm is ALMOST like 2mm, isn’t it? What’s 50% between rows?!

I dug out my knitting bag. And discovered a stripy cardigan I was once knitting for Linnea (it’s probably the new baby’s now, if it ever gets made) which only needs one sleeve finished and then the complicated sewing-together part. And a zip. And maybe a collar. IF it fits Emer, it will be great! I love this.
