I spent the past two weeks working on this pattern from the Knitty Spring 2003 pattern. It's wicked easy and goes really, really fast. The further I got into it the more I became excited for it to be finished.

Yesterday I spent the afternoon seaming it up and blocking it. This afternoon I tried it on, and it doesn't fit. I did everything I was supposed to do. I did a gauge swatch. While knitting I checked my gauge so often Niels got worried that I was checking it too often. I was anal about following the pattern.

But when it comes down to it, I'm not surprised it doesn't fit. When I tried it on before blocking it, it was snug, but I had hoped that afterwards, I was hoping it would fit. But I was wrong.
