So that means a rant. This pattern has no measurements apart from the bust. There's no schematic and no row gauge. So I went by what the directions say (and they're a little vague... this pattern uses a lot of "looking at the picture as a reference"). While my stitch gauge is good, I'm obviously not on row gauge.
I don't think I've ever had to length sleeves in my life... I am short, with short arms. So that's a direct indication that there's a need to show some kind of gauge or schematic.
Today is the first "real" individual time trial in the Tour (the prologue is so short that it's not considered a time trial specialist event) and I think we'll see a few changes on the GC at the end of the day. I will say that I really miss the team time trials. Watching a team do a paceline is just beautiful to watch.
Matt's off to this morning for his race. This is a big one, but I'm not going. The laps are 10 miles so that's a long wait between laps. Plus there's no shade and I'm not sure of the status of flush toilets (the course is thru the rolling hills of Amish farm country... so I'm not expecting to see a lot of indoor plumbing).
However, I believe Chirssy is going, so I'm going to give Matt the camera so she can get pictures (if he remembers... as he didn't for the last race).
