Knitting round and round with no shaping goes quickly. And I quickly knit up the two skeins (raveling from my previous effort). I am going with a slightly cropped length. This should come to just the top of my hip. I have tried it on and the size appears to be good. I have been using Google Translate to interpret the pattern instructions, which are in Portuguese, but I really wanted to upload the PDF and get a full translation. Unfortunately the file size was bigger than Google Translate would take, so I emailed it to myself at work (where I have full up Adobe Acrobat), saved it as a reduced file size, and then uploaded it to Google Translate and got a translated file back. It was pretty slick. There are a few terms that don’t translate quite right, so still some interpretation for me to do, but way better than the piecemeal manner I was going about before. One of the things that I learned from the translated copy is that Goiaba is Guava, which is much easier for me to pronounce and does not trigger the spell check (and the occasional auto-correct).
