Gah. Blah. Grr...

Counting is not all that hard.

(Insert pharmacist joke here)

My Supersock sweater took a generous dip in the frog pond last night.  It seems that I can balance working, 2 kids and an abundant life, but I can't count stitches to the inch.

I had done my calculations based on 6 stitches to the inch.  Looks more like 6.5 to me now, maybe even 7.

No wonder I looked like a deranged pinup girl when I last tried it on.

I couldn't bear to re-incorporate the sleeve stitches (all 200+ of them) and the sleeves and armholes seemed deep enough, so I went back to the first row of the separated body.  I added a gusset of sorts by doing a kfb on either side of the side "seam" point for 6 rows.  This should give me a few extra inches and will hopefully be reasonably invisible.

If it doesn't fit after all of that, I will gift it to someone.  Someone lacking an H-cup chest.  Someone who will love it and won't swear at it like I've been doing.

Pics?  Not yet.
