Fortunately, her mom can craft...

Tonight I finally got up the nerve to try sewing together the sweater that I knit for my niece. I think we can safely say that she will not be wearing this sweater any time in the forseeable future, unless she has some freaky incident with a bicycle pump.

It may, with a little tweaking, work as a shortie jacket for me.

"It fits me. It's my size."
"Yeah, but you're really small."
"Okay, but--let's say for the sake of argument that I'm the size of a six year old child..."

Ah, crafting failures: how would I know who I am without you? It's okay, I'm regrouping, principally by...burning dinner.
