05 NYCO done

I finished this year's NYCO tonight - ready now to start my 06 NYCO on
Sunday. (The shawl from the yarn my son gave me for Christmas).

The v-neck I made this year came out ok but I think it is a little
bulky for me. If I were less bulky, it would probably look better.
Hmm. I wonder which is easier to remedy.

YAY!!!!!!!
Hugs,
Noreen

LOL I have the same problem with some of my sweaters. I am going back to the
gym today, for the first time in several months. I hope to remedy some of
the bulk by June.

maybe we should have a debulking club my kid is 5 now &
weaned (finally) so i should lose the extra 20 i've been
carrying around too...
when knitting for kids, how much bigger should i knit? i'm
not real fast, especially if it's boring (i need either a
color pattern or a knit pattern or i'll get too bored to
finish). he wears a 3T/4T shirt, so knitting a size 6 sweater
should fit a few years maybe?

You know, there is an RCTY Diet Club you might be interested in. In fact,
here is the URL so you can check it out.

I think I will also make a separate post to let people know about it.

I have updated the 2005 spreadsheet to show that you completed your
2005 project. Good for you.

If it were me, it would be easier to fix the sweater... ;-)

I tend to knit for the size that is "their-age to their-age-plus-a-bit".
That is, if I'm knitting for a 5yo, I'll knit the 5-6yo size (unless they
are nearly 6yo). OTOH, my kids are relatively small.

Also, if you are knitting big, instruct everyone who is there at the
initial try-on to *not* say "it looks a bit big", leading the child to
take it off and not want to wear it again.

(Do you need to ask how I know that :-) )
