Ohjeen uudet koot - Resizing an old patter

Note to self: Seuraavan kerran kuin asiakas pyytää uusia kokoja, mieti kannattaako ja onko sinusta siihen, ennen kuin lupaat tehdä sen.
Sain viikolla kyselyn koskien Karalyn-tunikaa ja sen kokoa. Oikeastaan kysyjä halusi vain neuvoja miten suurentaa ohjetta itselleen sopivaksi.

Karalyn on aikanaan siskolleni äitiystopiksi, neljä vuotta sitten suunniteltu nopea huitaisu jonka ohjeen kuitenkin kirjoitin ylös ties mistä syystä, ahneuksissani varmaankin. Anyways, nyt sitten pistin itseni siihen asemaan että lupasin kyselijälle uudet koot ohjeeseen ja annoin vielä määräajankin missä saisin homman tehtyä. No se päivä on tänään ja olen laskenut uudet koot vasta helmalle. Onnekseni kysly tuli pallon toiselta puolelta niin saan edes vähän lisää aikaa. Ei se kyllä helppoa ole! Matikka kun ei ole mun vahvin lajini.

Mutta hyvää pääsiäisen aikaa ja alkavaa kevättä kaikille! Palailen tästä laskelmien ja silmukkamäärien ihmeelliseen maailmaan!



Note to sef: Next time someone asks me to resize a  pattern, think before you make any comitments. Do you really got what it takes!

I got an inquiry about a pattern and if I could give some edvice on how to make a bigger size. Ofcourse I wanted to help and I even promised to resize the whole pattern by next saturday, that is today. So far I'we calculated the new sizes for the hem! Fortenally the person that made the request lives on the other side of the globe, so that should give me a couple of extra hours to do this.




Karalyn-tunic is a maternaty top I designed for my sister four years ago, and wrote down the pattern for who knows what reason! 
Anyways, Thought I'll let you know what I'm up to while the sun is shining outside and the snow is slowly melting.

Have a great easter! I'll get back to the math.
