There you go SP, I'm easy to please, ain't I??
And here's the one who goes to the frog pond...
I should've known that it would turn out HUGE earlier, not after I've knitted 2 skeins of yarn. And now I need to decrease at least 60 stitches.
The problem is me and my self-denial. I was worried that it'll turn out too big from the start, but I just hush the voice in my head, telling me to stop. And it's not the first time either.
Remember Orangina?(I knew it's huge). Remember Lucky?(I knew there's something wrong with the sleeves). Remember Kiri?(I knew it would be too small for me). Remember the scarf?(I knew 2 skeins won't be enough).
So what's going on here? I have a problem. At least I would admit it.

Off to the yarn store to find some things for you and me!
Your SP
I got that problem once in awhile. Just make sure to always measure, measure, measure, and check your gauge. You can use your favorite top (the one that fits you most) as a guide. I'm sure it will work out fine eventually. Goodluck girl!
Oooh, a knitting room and a sock library...I want one too:-)
btw: love your blog!
I hear ya! I've got a bit of a problem with sizing my knits correctly. Mostly they come out too big and too short. Now I'm trying to be super-viligant about my gauge and measuring. Happy knitting!
