Armholes are too tight
I worked on this baby
Sometimes real late at night
To make it better
I'd need to rip out the seams
All that fricking mattress stitch
Can't face it again
I've got the bad cardi blues
Cause the arrrrrrrrms are too tight
.....................
Feel my pain. I need to add at least an inch to the left front, right front, back and both arms. At the very least I need to undo the 3 needle bind off on the shoulders and the seams putting the armholes in place.
I also finished off another project. Ironically this one is too big. When I started it I was 1.5 stone heavier and I thbink it would have been a perfect fit then. Anyway, I sewed in all the ends and sorted out the collar and fastening.
I am feeling a strong need to finish off some things after ruminating on the 22 unfinished projects on Ravelry. It really is too many!

it's a good song though.... ;-)
its a shame you'll have to do the frog chorus while you adjust the cardi!
ooh! the mermaid jacket looks great on you, even if its a tad big. think of it as an outer garment, with a thick turtle neck underneath.
What a pain... all that work! The actual knitted fabric looks gorgeous, so it would totally be worth it. Just a pain to do!
Ow. I feel your pain! The Mermaid jacket looks lovely tho.
Those are both really pretty, and I fully agree that the second really doesn't look big in these pictures.
What a shame it doesn't fit, hope you can rescue it.
I'm going to add my voice to those pleading with you to persist with the Henley cardi because it looks really nice apart from the armhole problem....I like the look of yours much more than the picture used on the actual pattern, in fact, if it weren't for the fact that youve had problems with it (and I'm pretty sure we are of similar build) I'd be purchasing it right now myself....
That is a GREAT jacket!
