Probaby because I know lace is NOT my cup of tea!<BR/><BR/>That hoodie looks great! Hmmm ... is there yarn for that already in my stash?

I've been reading here and there that the sizing runs a little small, so this may involve some math. Usually, I would knit the 48 inch bust size, but I like to wear clothes under a cardigan (I know! I'm a rebel!) so I might want some more ease. I may stick in enough stitches to add 2 inches around.<BR/><BR/>Of course, my swatches are always dirty rotten liars, so I should just cast on and redo it if it isn't right.<BR/><BR/>I love the red for the Icarus shawl, I keep seeing darker or neutral colors for it, I think it will be fantastic when you're done!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846943673211958259noreply@blogger.com
