that is the bottom of the "small" size. most designers seem to design with a 32-34 bust in mind for small, and i pretty much always knit that size. uh-uhn, no way on this one. it's more likely to fit as a hat. so i did the required LYS run for an additional skein to go one more size up. last time 'round, with knit picks shine worsted, i was planning to knit the xs. i was crazy.
ripping and re-knitting required reinforcements.
but i cheered myself up by going to see coraline in 3D (highly recommend - beautiful! and all hand-made!) and taking silly photos of the latest pair of bella's mittens using my macbook's photobooth, which i just recently discovered. (built-in camera! yay!)
happy sunday!

Love, love, love those mittens!
(reinforcements are always good) You're right- that is far too cute of a sweater not to have someone wear it. I suggest lots more reinforcements- enough to wipe out any inhibitions- and see what you can do with it. Can't wait to see it.
that first picture just says it all. I'm sorry that pattern is giving you so much trouble - it is pretty. I hope you have some luck finding edging yarn for your honeycomb, as well!!
I love the mittens! I also feel your frustrations with your sweater! The bottom of your sweater looks like it would fit a doll of mine from when I was a kid.
