If it's not too thick, I'd continue it onto the plackets. Placket necks are often worn unbuttoned anyway, so that might not be a consideration. Maybe the recipient has an opinion.<br /><br />Most of those "knitting fails" could be fixed one way or another, e.g. a too-small hat can be renamed a baby hat, or if too small even for that, stuffed and closed and made into a toy. A too-large hat can be brought in with elastic, or (literally) cut and sewn to fit. Or lined and made into a purse. In the successes, the whole-body cable sweater looked appealing (it's cold here tonight), but I don't want the cold living conditions that must have inspired it.=Tamarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-930581096038567852015-03-01T20:46:17.865+00:002015-03-01T20:46:17.865+00:00My first daughter was several days overdue during ...My first daughter was several days overdue during the 99 eclipse (almost total here in the Southwest). I remember waddling around the garden explaining to my bump what an historic event she was missing through her refusal to appear. She kept us all waiting over a fortnight in the end.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364440447314657315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-13224276649575112882015-03-01T17:44:34.557+00:002015-03-01T17:44:34.557+00:00If only they would call it "fiber arts,"...If only they would call it "fiber arts," we would all be happy . . . .

I would not have believed how impressive a sight that was: the hush, the darkness, the cloud clearing, the brightness around the rim and then the gradual restoration of light. If I had been given to religion, I would not have been surprised to hear celestial voices - that's how dramatic it was.shandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372329387935318023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-6128405446021086382015-03-01T11:02:38.712+00:002015-03-01T11:02:38.712+00:00The quite impressive skeleton is in fact crocheted...The quite impressive skeleton is in fact crocheted.
