Frogged and am starting again - people were not kidding when they said this sized large! I tried on what I had and it was WAY too big. Now am making a bit small, on the logic that a) sizes are overestimated, and b) knitting stretches.

At least I figured this out a week or two in and not when I was finished? Still aggravating, though. Am gonna try for a medium instead of 1X though, and hope that fits.
