It’s bigger, it’s better….

I’ve finished the additional length on the right side of the VCC.

And that’s the VCC, for those of you who haven’t been around since the spring. It’s out of the Holiday 2004/05 Vogue Knitting. And it’s gorgeous.

I’m going to finish all three pieces (both fronts and back) up to the armholes, to guarantee they’re the same length, before beginning any armhole shaping.

I think I’m also going to knit a “filler piece” of 3×3 ribbing to go up each side and down the sleeves at the seam point, to assure I’ll be able to wear it when I’m done. After all this work, and frogging, and reworking, I’m going to be wearing this sucker! Then, if I ever do shrink to a happy size, I can take the filler out, re-seam, and still have my sweater! Hopefully, it’s brilliance. We’ll see. I’m just way happy I have an overabundance of this yarn so I can do all of this adding on.
