Hi Rebecca, I linked to Dawn's blog in my most recent post.

Hi Rebecca--do you mean it

Hi Rebecca--do you mean it won't fit around your head with 40 stiches? Because It's not supposed to. By the time you join at the V you should about 60 stitches around--an 18" neck hole, which should fit easily over your head. Make sense?

What's the address for your

What's the address for your blog?

That's the thing, though,

That's the thing, though, dawn...I rigged it with the .25, then I rounded up to 4 and it was still too small, then I added another inch to my measurement and it was STILL too small. I don't think I have an abnormally large head? Or, when measuring, do I need to measure the back of the neck where i want the sweater to fall, rather than the actual back of my neck with no ease?....I'm tempted to edit the directions to read "crochet a chain large enough to fit over your head and fiddle with the sleeve placement until it looks roughly like a raglan sleeve should."

I have my first picture on

we learn by our mistakes

Dawn — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 11:06:04 GMT

we learn by our mistakes don't we?? When I worked out my guage I had 3.25 when I did the maths I left out the .25 bad move. Once I got to joining the V part it was tiny. 1st lesson round up the numbers. So it has been ripped out once. Now Ive got to joining the v and have used a larger needle as well it goes quite nicely over my head but I would prefer a deeper V.

oohhh! ooh! I get first

Rebecca — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 10:42:23 GMT

oohhh! ooh! I get first question. So, I've done my measurements, and made my starting chain. And it will not fit over my head in any way. It barely fits around my neck. I measured 6" for back of neck, and a guage of 3.5 stitches per inch, resulting in a starting chain of 41 stitches. Is this someting I've messed up, or do I need to go along and trust? (I've also tried switching to a larger hook size, and it didn't help either.)

Woohoo. This is going to be
