Clever to add the mini gusset.

Thank you so much. ❤️I didn’t find it included in patterns generally. It improves the fit so much. So I had to find a way to ‘insert’ it! Please excuse the pun. 😅

First, Congratulations on your child's graduation. I hope you're given yourself a moment to pat yourself on the back. Mothering a person through childhood and adolescence to the cusp of young adulthood is not an easy task.

Second, I completely understand that feeling of "can't I have a couple of days without screens to just knit?". It's what happens when you turn your hobby into your job. It's why I make a point of sometimes making a sweater just for me, with no obligation to write instructions or grade it for 10 sizes.

Thank you Sandi! Your kind words made my day. I am taking the other advice too. I am going to make a habit of knitting for myself every now and then. The feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment that used to be in those early knitting days are completely missing for me and this might be a way to bring some of it back.
