So, I've figured out the gauge for my next knitting project (I know, I know) which is sort of a momentous occasion because I have this really bad habit only paying lip service to swatching at best - I will maybe make it through about five rows, measure it, smush it until it fits, and say, good enough. Mostly I knit smaller things or things where gauge doesn't really matter, so it's been okay. But since my Mariah sweater turned out, well, huge (but wearable - don't worry sweater, I still love you) I'm taking way more care this time around with things like fit.
So now I am agonizing about what size to knit of the Heroine jacket, which I fell in love with because it resembles an 18th century workman's jacket. (Resembles. Sort of. It's most likely inspired by something like one, what with the facings and everything.)
I am agonizing. Seriously. I think tomorrow I shall have to measure various items of clothing in my possession and try to make a decision that way.
