I guess I forgot my rationale for changing the size. The live and learn lesson should have been, think and count before you post. Thanks for the correction.
Tell your DH you were trying to give him more to be cozy with ... and he can get more length out of it, if he puts it a bit on the diagonal so the point goes over his toes!!
Or does he have method in his madness and wants you to make another one, with his colour/fabric choices?
Just might be his plan!!
Or threaten that he can't use it any more ... and see how fast he is madly in love with it. Again!
