Well I will keep that in mind - I am of an age where I don’t like the low cut jeans either - or rather they don’t like me!!! So I may make it a tad longer in the back.
I would suspect that blocking it might help. I would do that before I tried to shrink it. I will have to see how McKee turns out fitwise - I am a tad nervous because I am using a smaller needle size to get gauge -the pieces parts LOOK like they will fit, but what do I know! I really hope to get the pieces parts done this weekend. My LYS has a drop in thing where for $8 you can drop in for two hours and get hands on help - I am hoping to get it to a point by Tuesday where I wouldn’t be wasting my time doing that! They want me to do “knit” the shoulders together and I don’t quite know what they mean by that - may snoop around this site.
Next time I have Mckee questions though, since I know you have the book, I can ask you!
