Not that big a deal unless you have a baby spitting up on you every time you wear it. :-)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08679998588660500127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3357280502639180937.post-75021718782855835582009-11-11T05:56:12.419-06:002009-11-11T05:56:12.419-06:00That cardi is gorgeous - I love the colour and the...That cardi is gorgeous - I love the colour and the ruffles and the fit is really good.

When you knit your gauge swatch, you should prob wash and block it and re-measure.
