Biddy, she's a wrong'un
I knitted this top a while ago, using Rowan Chunky Print, when I was going through my 'fat' wool phase. It is nice-feeling wool, no doubt, and very easy to knit with. The Chunky print is also not too lumpy, really. My biggest mistake was being drawn in to using variagated yarn. No. No. No. Never again. I dislike it on clothes I wear, and I'll admit now, I really don't like it on other people's clothes either. It just reminds me of vomit (after a night on the Blue Curacao), or badly executed camoflage (arctic style). It makes me feel as if I have a really bad hangover whenever I look at it. The pattern itself is also not really suited to me: Biddy, from Rowan's book 'Big Just Got Bigger'. It is shown in the book as being worn the other way around, but unless you have no tits whatsoever, it is not a good look. On the other hand, having the lacing at the front is a little too 'pint 'o ale, my lover?' for my tastes. I definately need to seriously consider what will actually suit my shape the next time I knit something more than a hat, scarf or sock ;) Finishing on a positive note, however, I would say that it was my first venture into short row shaping, and that worked... even if I will never wear the damn thing. Anyone want it?

Nice job - I made one in a plain colour and I have never worn it - makes me look like Mme Ginormous Norks. Mine's up for grabs too... it's browm. Yet another reason..... I never wear brown..... Lovely figure Skitten :P

Looks like you should be carrying a large tankard of cider.
