I'm 5'3" and have shorter arms compared to the size I wear that relates to my bust size. Before starting Vindur I thought, I bet the arms will be too long, but I didn't want to bother customizing.Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874821391519907971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298152147095480091.post-1018531229875095132017-02-09T18:12:12.046-05:002017-02-09T18:12:12.046-05:00I would take out a few rows and make the decreases...I would take out a few rows and make the decreases closer together, but first I would look at your Vindur and try to determine why they are too long? Do they measure what is in the schematic? Is your row gauge "on" for them?Laura Nelkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120576950149666512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298152147095480091.post-39847121070242826402017-02-09T18:08:16.477-05:002017-02-09T18:08:16.477-05:00After making Vindur, the main change I would make ...After making Vindur, the main change I would make if/when I make Gola is to make the sleeves shorter. Would you recommend spacing the increases closer together so that I have the same # of sts when I get to the body portion? Or just taking out some rows and having fewer sts?Justinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874821391519907971noreply@blogger.com
