Knitting sweaters for men takes a very long time indeed. At least, if your knitting time is limited to bits and pieces between feeding, clothing, cleaning and playing with your children. The progress I have made on Cobblestone thus far is proof that these rare moments actually exists. It gives me some sort of hope.

After about 20 cm (8 inches) of lovely smooth knitting I had to rip all of it out and start over. Actually, if I had not decided to knit openly (as opposed to secretly) on Cobblestone it would have been a sweater sized perfectly for ME and not for a grown-up man. I thought I was clever and measured my knitting against an old sweater of K. It looked a little snug but not too much. Not until K found out about the project and hinted that the said model sweater was (and has always been) a bit too snug for comfort. It turns out I am not all that clever after all.

I hope that any remaining sizing issues can be adjusted with a good firm blocking.
