How Big is Big Enough? So I bought some Noro Transitions on sale at Webs. My plan was to make this:  It takes 700 grams for the smallest size but I bought 800 just to be on the safe side. But then I decided a super bulky turtle neck just might not get too much wear in the temperate (yes, really) weather we have in Colorado (where it is 76 degrees today). Maybe I'd rather make this:  But the extra small size takes 900 grams. BUT the extra small size is also 48 inches around the chest. I'm 12 inches smaller than that. So I'm thinking I could take off several inches and the 800 grams would be plenty of yarn. But how Big is Big Enough? I mean, 48 inches would be huge on me! But would 42 inches be too small for a garment styled like this? 40"? 44"? What would you do? Have I Forsaken Lady Eleanor? Absolutely not! We're on ball number 9 of 11....
