Somewhat Pleased
About halfway through the first sleeve of my Red Hot Somewhat Cowl and I'm pretty happy with how she's turning out! While I hit gauge, I do have to say it is coming out a bit on the big side. Kaitlyn mentioned that Steph was adding waist shaping since she has an hourglass figure - I now see the wisdom in her decision... I think the chest size is right on, but it does just hang there when it comes to the waist.... But, c'est la vie! I think it will still be smashing, just not as snug as I would have thought. We'll see how she turns out after being blocked. :)
Here we see my doppelganger Gertrude modelling the RHSC. Gertrude, you sexy little bitch!
And the back.... Gertrude's got some booty goin' on! Yowza!
I just brought good ol' Gertie out off of a long vacaction. Back to work, doppelganger!

Oooh! Fresh! Lucky for you Gertie's totally into getting her booty grabbed. She's such a tease. ;)

yep, mine really needed the waist shaping and i hope that it all looks fine when it's said and done. still working on the bottom ribbing but i expect to be done with that this week! yours looks awesome!

I wonder if it would disrupt the cowl to have deeper ribbing? I'm still toying with this pattern for the knitting olympics.

Va-Va-Voom! That's one red hot SC for sure! Love it! I, too, and opting for non-ribbing. I'm almost to the bottom ribbing and will give her a try-on soon to see how much I regret not shaping her. The body of SC went pretty quickly, though, so if I HAVE to RIP...well, there are worse things. You're going to have a big problem, though ~ SC looks so HOT on Gertie, she might not let you have it back!
