Tempting ii was never going to fit. It just isn't designed for a girl who has a 44 DDD. It would never have worked; but I just didn't want to face the facts. Instead, I knit blindly on- working hard on the several inches of 1x1 ribbing until I finally reached the armpit. I checked my gauge, and even put the live stitches on some black crochet cotton to check the size. The body fit... sort of. It fit around me, no doubt, but it didn't fit over my boobs. I have BIG boobs... the sweater fit the back of me, it went from above the tail bone to just under my arm pits... but the front, well the front rode up something fierce. I knew that i would never wear a sweater that rode up in the front. I was ready to frog it and start something new, but I realized that at 12pm such decisions need not be made. (To top it off, at this point I was highly infected with icky icky Upper Respritory Infection !ewww mucus!) So I held off, and waited to talk to my mom. She convinced me not to ...

I picked up Tempting II again- I tried it on with a piece of cotton through the loops so that I could see how it fits. Utimately I realized that my chest is so big that there is no way it is going to fit right as a straight tube top. Right now I am trying to make short rows to fit my boobs. We will see if it is sucessful. Before I picked my Tempting II back up, I worked on the second of my first ever Trekking XXL socks. I got the yarn in a wonderful shop called Creative Yarns in Cohassett. I loved that shop. I would go back in a second if it wasn't over 6 hours away! Soon I will take pictures of the work I have been doing- but here's an update for now!
