The sweater-or-dress is long enough that, if it were a sweater, it could be finished. It will not be a sweater, though, because I’ve still got loads of yarn left.

The thing that usually happens when I try something on, happened now as well. It wasn’t quite the way I wanted, so I ripped up a good 10 centimetres. I wanted it to fit very closely around the torso and then flare somewhere around the lower hips, but that didn’t work out. The fabric is somewhat stiff, even with the added silk mohair, so instead of stretching around the body, it rode up and bunched at the waist. It may be that the weight of the skirt would pull it straight, but also maybe not, so it’s not something I want to bet on. Rip up and redo with more width around the hips so that the fabric can hang and drape nicely.
