January 29th: This was the first sweater I knitted after I took up knitting again in my 20’s. Sigh. This was before I understood a thing about knitting sizes, and just made the medium without checking the measurements of the finished garment against my own, because, heck, in stores I almost always wear the medium, right? It came out far too big for me, the bottom hits in an unflattering place, and somehow (how did this happen?) the buttons aren’t evenly spaced. Also, I just don’t ever see myself making something without shaping ever again. It’s cozy enough to wear on the weekends, especially with a dress, but my slouchy cardigan works so much better in this regard that this one rarely gets worn. Oh well.
