The dress is finished. It's beautiful. The lace came out perfectly. The bottom of the skirt is gorgeous. I finished with plenty of time to spare.
It's too big.
When I chose the size, I wavered: my Beatle fit within the measurements of both the M and L, so I chose the L. I knit on smaller needles, though, hoping for a tighter fit. My gauge is perfect. The fit is not.
I'm scrambling! I do have yarn--two choices, actually, and I've found a pattern that I know I can knit in a week. Though I love the pattern, the bodice would have to be adjusted, and I just don't have that kind of time right now.
The nice thing is that when I knit, I am quiet and still--something that rarely happens with me. It's a perfect time to pray, and this Holy Week, I'll be doing a lot of that.
The dress will fit in a year (or two).
