Too Short

0605.jpg

My Lace Peasant Top turned out to be too short, as I thought before. Actually it's not really too short. The top half of the ribbed part is short so it doesn't cover the chest area.

The length of the finished sweater is almost the same as the pattern. So I knitted it as it is supposed to be, only it's too short for me. K(my husband) wonders why I chose that size in the first place. Well, I really didn't check the length of the sweater and only checked the finished chest size.

The problem is I'm not sure what is the real reason that this sweater is too short. Did I read the pattern wrong? Or I might have a very long torso compared to western people (I'm not joking, because I'm having a hard time finding pants which have short legs in the U.S.)... or maybe the size I chose was a kid's size.

Ow! What a shame about the Lacy Peasant Top being too short in the top; it's so beautiful, and the color is so serene. Could you fill in the neckline with more mesh lace? The finished sweater is so pretty it seems a shame to not be able to wear it. I hope you have a solution soon!

I think I'll knit new one if I really want to wear this sweater. Too much ripping going on around here these days... :(
