| In Which Everything Grows Slowly |
I knew when I started the Downton Abbey Lady Sibyl Shrug that it would be slow going. I was using the wrong-sized yarn, the wrong-sized hook, and I was starting it at the same time as my novel project (which is going fairly well!). Still...
I'd hoped to have more than a single inch of the garment finished by this week.
Life intervened, however, and now I'm at about 0.75" finished, unblocked. At least I know now that it will take at least 16 pattern repeats to make the garment? Because it's supposed to be 15" wide (38cm). I have very wide arms, however, so it's probably going to be more like 16" (40.6cm) wide.
So it's probably going to be anywhere from 17 to 30 pattern repeats.
Why such a broad range? Because I absolutely stink at eyeballing progress.
Also, because I'll be fitting the garment as I near the end.
But What does all of this mean for future Fiber Mondays? It just means you'll be seeing a whole lot of this color yarn, really.
I've got more rows to complete, words to type, and food to consume and discuss, today, though, so I'll let you all go.
Go Enjoy Something!
