Grrr...
You might think mashing 175+ stitches onto a 30" circ would be a good idea.You'd be wrong.
I just tried on the body I've spent the past 2.5 hours reworking after frogging. It's still a bit baggy. Even over the bust.
I suppose it's because with the new gauge I need about 83 stitches for the front and back (separately) and I started out with 93.
It looks like I'll be compensating for the decreases by lowering the hemline to just below belt loops. This is actually a brilliant idea anyway.
Now if only I can get those remaining 8" and 8 decreases done! And then the sleeves added and body finished! And then the collar! And the finishing! Before April 3rd! While doing job apps at the same time!
Yeah, no, I didn't think so either.
