From this:
To this:
Well, I didn't get to wash her yesterday because the landlord had to shut off the water for a while. I decided to wear her to work today to see how I like her.
When I was finishing her on Sunday, I finished the body knitting, and then seamed her up. At which point, I tried her on. The fit was terrible. Even though the back and sides were perfectly matched, they didn't fit right on the body. I was nearly in tears and about to throw it in the trash. Then I decided that I would finish the collar and give it one last chance before throwing it away. Thank goodness I finished the collar! The fit is entirely different with the collar in place. There are still a few weird poufs on the sides of the front, but it otherwise seems ok. I'll see how I feel after wearing her today.
One last look...

I love that tranformation. I think it suits you, and is very snazy.
