Irene Q said... You look lovely! :-) Sorry the blouses didn't work out for you. I've heard that these patterns tend to have tight sleeves - could that be part of the problem? 2/6/08 11:04 AM

Maggy, I agree, the neckline is still tight and I don't have a huge head, well within the 22" another reveiwer mentioned. I think with a tiny bit of stretch this could be my favorite pattern. 2/7/08 9:29 AM
