I really appreciate you identifying the "lesson learned". I am certain I have done the same thing and not even realized that I made the armhole too large by adding to the side seam. Lightbulb moment! <br /><br />I have noticed your reviews and comments on PR in the past and I'm happy to have finally found your blog :)Meiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14369299181385050668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591480456197557629.post-48804754381890843522013-07-24T12:06:51.479+10:002013-07-24T12:06:51.479+10:00Thanks for the tip Angela.

I usually add an inch (which for me is like grading out from a 14 in the upper body to an 18) but I leave the armholes as is, and start tapering out an inch or so below them. That way I don't have to change anything on the sleeves or armholes. I do like your cowl tops! I am working on a couple of them this week myself:)Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11718137744623626322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3591480456197557629.post-88410679094838538772013-07-23T22:19:44.856+10:002013-07-23T22:19:44.856+10:00Thanks so much Sarah.
