12/18/08: only had one skein of this GORGEOUS yarn so i had to alter the pattern to make it a bit smaller. cast on for one fewer rib and made the biggest portion a bit smaller than stated in the pattern. i’m about halfway done, and i’m going to weigh the skein tomorrow at work to see if i’ve got enough to finish it. maybe if i dont i’ll do a little corset tie in the back instead of seaming it together….
