This model is wearing a size too small
That's just what happens when you start working on a piece before you know you're expecting.
I am sucking in my tummy as far as I possibly can, but nevertheless have expanded quite a bit, in all sorts of places. So if you're thinking of making this please note that, if you make the correct size to fit your actual body, the sweater will be an inch or two longer in the body, and slightly less strained all over.
At least my expansion doesn't affect the neck. I love how the neckline turned out.

It's in a book!
Sorry for the absence - we've been at the beach for a week, enjoying mixed weather but a very restful time. I have photos of the finished Marc/Koigu hybrid to show soon, followed by a pattern - it turned out quite well, but this was definitely the last time I'll be able to model my own designs for a while.
If you've been waiting and waiting for the Bridie pattern, you'll be interested to know that Sabrina Gschwandtner's book, KnitKnit (in which Bridie appears), is available to pre-order.

Incredulous
Soon, we will be sharing our home with someone who wears socks this size:
And whose father wears socks this size:
Hilarious. Can any human bean have feet this small? Does anyone have a newborn to hand whose feet they can measure?
