A Picture....

Not a good picture, but still, a picture.



Here is my Stitch Diva/Glampyre Simple Knitted Bodice at 90% complete.

How can I be so sure it's 90%?

Because I had 10 balls of yarn, I've used every bit of 9 balls and I'm still not sure I have enough to make it as long as I want.

After completing each sleeve I took what was left and used it up around the bottom. Less than one row each littl ebit of yarn, but I'm so tight on yarn I had no choice. I don't want to join ends in on the reverse stckintte trim, It's way too hard to hide joins in reverse stockinette.

Next I'll pick up for the neck and finish that up. Then, whatever is left will decide how long it's going to be.

It does look short right now but really,it's "long enough", I'd just like it to be a bit longer if ossible. I think it looks short in the picture because the sleeves are so long. I have to have long sleeves, I can deal with it being a bit shorter in body but I'd never wear it if the sleeves felt too short.

I am really really happy with this so far, and promise I will get pictures of it on an actual person when it's done!
