Too old? Too big?
Having finished the bottom bind-off on the anthropological cape I was able to try it on and got pleasantly surprised, but I was asked by a certain somebody if I shouldn't rather be knitting things that are more appropriate for my age and for my body (sic!). No comments. (Well obviously I had comments, but nothing appropriate for publishing.)
I would however wish to comment on this pattern. After slipping the sleeve stitches onto a thread and finishing the body, I am apparently supposed to finish the sleeves in back and forth 1x1 rib, but how the heck will that be done on a round sleeve? Shouldn't that have been done before finishing the body? For the current (unfrogged) situation I think DPN's would be the solution, but I can't bring myself to buy a set of 8mm DPN's just to finish these sleeves. Right now I'm trying a magic loop solution, knitting in the round with an oversized circular, but I'm afraid I will make stretch holes in the rib. My Friday night holds the answer, and I'll keep you posted.
