Sitcom Chic... Take two!
Please observe the difference. Sitcom Chic two years ago:
I was 30 pounds heavier, and had made a sweater out of TLC acrylic and thought it was faboo. The sweater rolled terribly, even though I'd overstretched it when I'd sewn grosgrain ribbon along the front edging.
Sitcom Chic, version two:
The yarn is TLC Cotton Plus, which is pretty much perfect for this sweater. The front edge still rolls a bit, but I haven't sewn in the ribbon yet. It's probably about 5-10 stitches too big (even if my bust size hasn't changed with the weight loss, the rest of me has!), but it's hard to adjust sizes with a seamless raglan sweater. The button was pulled from the old sweater, and if I decide I need ribbon, I may pull that from the old one, too.
I wet blocked this sweater, which was kind of the worst idea ever. It took three days to mostly dry, though the worst of the curling stopped.
I'm very happy. And I mean it this time.
