The light and my height and the height of the dresser on which the knitting sat, combined with the incredible fussiness of all of those T-pins meant that I turned the knitting upside-down. It was like looking at a new thing.
I think I would rather make a sweater that doesn't look dramatically different one way up versus the other way. I mean, I would prefer the patterns not to have an inherent "gravity" which makes it obvious where the bottom should be. I hadn't seriously contemplated it before, though .... here's my big chance to use subtleties in the patterns and colouring to create the impression that my (ample) hips are small or that I have a delicate waist. What an idea. I might need to apply more brains to that one.
