First, instead of &lt;strike&gt;Tacky&lt;/strike&gt; Tahki Cotton Classic, I used Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece. Then I made the &amp;quot;sash&amp;quot; (or as I like to call it, the hanbok skirt) about 3 inches longer to eliminate any croppedness. Then I changed the name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This sweater is ok, but honestly, the sleeves are a bit short so this goes in the defeats folder until I fix them.&lt;/p&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://www.yarnabuse.com/picture/000_0328.JPG?pictureId=214808&amp;asThumbnail=true"/><media:content url="http://www.yarnabuse.com/picture/000_0328.JPG?pictureId=214808&amp;asGalleryImage=true"/></item><item><title>Hourglass Sweater</title><link>http://www.yarnabuse.com/picture/000_0749.JPG?pictureId=268775</link><description>&lt;P&gt;From the ubiquitous Last Minute Knitted Gifts. I used Elsepeth Lavold Silky Wool, and grossly GROSSLY miscalculated the amount of stretch that would occur with wet blocking. OMG, so catastrophic. Ah well, it's a learning experience. No, really. Ok, I'm lying. I hate this sweater.&lt;/P&gt;</description><media:thumbnail url="http://www.yarnabuse.com/picture/000_0749.JPG?pictureId=268775&amp;asThumbnail=true"/><media:content url="http://www.yarnabuse.com/picture/000_0749.JPG?pictureId=268775&amp;asGalleryImage=true"/></item><item><title>The Learning Experience</title><link>http://www.yarnabuse.com/picture/000_0943.JPG?pictureId=258104</link><description>&lt;p&gt;It's a butt-ugly sweater, but it sure taught me a lot.

It does, however, make a cute hat. This scarf was so stiff it could stand upright on it's side.
