lost in translation…

Thanks for the positive remarks!
I wasn’t looking for a new career path - what part of ‘I’m not into investing or learning new stuff! ’ did you not understand? ;). I was merely updating you on the situation here and attempting to reassure you that even though the Knitwords website is gone, this blog will remain - it does not cost me anything and I’m not mad enough to delete it all!

So, back to knitting! 

My sis, Marnie, loved her ‘Kickin’ Around’! When she saw it, she said, oh great! It goes with jeans - I don’t have to get dressed up to wear it! And it’s so soft!

I wanted to tell you what I did in making changes - here’s the link to the original schematic and what I did for the red one:

And here’s the new schematic for Marnie’s. Basically what I did was widen the hemline to add extra width for the hip area, and made the bust a little narrower,  so turned the side seam into an A-line, and adding short rows to the bottom to make a curve to the hemline so it wouldn’t be pulling up in the centre. It does add a very flattering slight flare to the bottom that is not really noticeable when you’re wearing it.


OMG! I did it! Made a new blogpost with photos and a link! And all on my own! ;))
