Ever since the Shinybees Rewind KAL, I've been itching to cast on a Lush but my self imposed yarn diet meant that I couldn't buy enough yarn to make one! However, I had recently unravelled an old project that I never wore so I'm hoping I'll have enough of that to make the size I need!
After measuring Saoirse (you'd think I'd do that before starting), I've decided to go down to Size 7-8, as although she is tall, she is only a 24.5" chest so the 9-10 would be swimming on her!
In the end, I used up every last inch of yarn but it fits her beautifully. As she is likely to stay very slim, what I will probably do next year is unravel the sleeves and make them either 3/4 length or short sleeves and add a little bit onto the length.
