Obviously, results will vary, depending on your yarn, needles, and gauge -- but at any rate, I think you'll be okay. <BR/><BR/>There's a picture of me wearing my finished product <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/thebees/1367815585/" REL="nofollow">here</A>, if you want a sense of scale. I'm 5'6", if that helps. (I did lengthen the stole, but only by about 20 rows.)AnnieBeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02848378582553689594noreply@blogger.com
