Thank you so much to everyone who reached out over the last month between episodes.  I know I probably sound like a broken record with "life getting in the way of the podcast", but that has been my reality over the last several months.  And given that this episode was recorded Monday, November 11th and only being released on Saturday November 16th, it still hasn't let up.  Going forward in an attempt to keep a regular schedule, I am officially switching to an every-other-week recording schedule.  The weekly schedule just is not feasible right now.  There will be a planned hiatus from mid-December until after the first of the new year when I'll resume recording every other week.  Again, thank you for bearing with me and understanding.

Pattern gauge - 4 sts per inch Personal gauge - 4.5 - 5 sts per inch Stitches at the bust to get desired size, which in this case for me is 34: x sts/34" = 5sts/1" x = 34*5 x = 170 sts This will be the number of stitches needed across bust to get the desired 34" bust measurement. Next, look through the pattern to find which size gives that number of stitches at the bust.  Use the numbers for that size in order to get the size I want. I did not mention during this e...
