Knitting Goddess #9

Icylove is no more. It has ceased to be.

I ripped the entire damn thing out and am starting over.

The main problem was I did too many bust increases and so had 2"-3" too much on the boobs- not attractive. I decided (with Mom's input) that stockinette will look more attractive (and draw less attention tummywards) than k2p2 rib. This means I have to redesign the whole darn thing. Yucky.

Reswatched after making the hugest yarn mess ever. How is it that 20 stitches = 3.85"? I'm seriously one stitch short of 4". Blarg. I'll reswatch to see if 22 makes 4", but I have a feeling it'll be slightly over.

Also decided to recycle the yarn used in an Arachne shrug I made a couple of years ago. Doesn't fit right and I don't like it. I'll probably remake it into something like this, maybe. That's just a thought though. And it costs $8 and I'd probably need more black wool. But is pretty!
