Fat Ass!!

Here I am, zipping along a Starmore piece and quite liking the resulting fabric, yarn, and pattern. I liked it so much I even took a picture of it after finishing the ribbing and just a little into the main body of the sweater.

Pretty right?

But look.

FAT ASS!!!

There was, once upon a time, long long time ago, I would have been able to fit into a sweater with that measurement. Not anymore. I put it on waste yarn, held it up to my big fat belly and the darn thing didn't even meet at the seams of my t-shirt. Arrgh.

Frog pond........ Need to go up a size or 2. And I so proudly thought that I still had my girlish figure. Age..... go figure.

PS: I'll be flying up to San Francisco to meet up with my buddy John for the 4th of July. Friend I met at the Men's Fall Knitting Retreat. I'm excited. More knitting and traveling. You all have a safe and Happy 4th!!!!!
