Oh and...

Grace, there is a tiny bit of waist shaping (as in, a few decreases and increases here and there) in the SitCom Chic but I bet you could alter it to curve more steeply. (Heck, someone may even have done it already and posted their calculations somewhere).

I don't worry about it because it is (surprisingly) a flattering sweater on me without the shaping. (But then, my bust is generally the first anatomical attribute people notice...)

I did wind off the first couple hanks of the yarn and swatched for and began the sweater this afternoon - something simple to knit on while I read journal articles. (I had been missing that - the long quiet Saturday afternoons sitting on my bed with the windows open, reading the back numbers of American Scientist and Ecological Monographs that accumulated while I was "too busy" to read them, some soft music in the background, and a simple, mostly-stockinette-stitch project.)
