Whatever it is, it'll prolly have to wait until July, but still... Mom wanted to know what I wanted for my birthday and I mentioned the swimming lessons I was thinking of taking (but not, due to time conflicts) and the personal trainer I was sort of thinking of getting (ungodly expensive, even at the YWCA). I'm not sure what I should ask her for - I don't have any large wants in my life right now. Aside from sanity and more money at work, of course. Maybe I'll ask her to get me a massage somewhere. That could be good.

The pattern calls for 5.5" of k3p3 rib. Being that the yarn was previously a bulky yarn, you couldn't tell. At all. Being that now I'm using a worsted, you sure as hell will.
I've cropped the sweater to hit right at belt loop level on me, which is pretty much straight up and down until the boobs come into play. Being that I'm short waisted, this is also about 5" long.
So, I figure make the k3p3 rib for 5" and then gradually increase to bust size and knit for the rest of the needed length.
It'll give me the idea of an empire waist, but without the big flouncy fabric at the empire waist. Know what I mean?
But, will this make me look short? Is this a good idea at all?
Vote below.
