Kuffel: Meghan's Size Inclusive WIP

Kuffel by Alexis Winslow

My knitting needles are empty. Well, sort of. My selfish knitting needles are empty. After binding off my Star Crossed and immediately putting it on I realized that I have our entire Deep Winter 2020 collection to chose from for my next selfish knitting project. Kuffel by Alexis Winslow is my next sweater on deck and I've been thinking extensively about my color options and also any modification I might want to make for my body type.
 
As a plus size knitter, the latter is usually the first thing I consider when I'm contemplating a new design to cast on. It is a rare occasion for me to cast on a project without some modifications, which is something I rather enjoy. It makes the project my own, tailored for me, and gives me a little extra to think about while I'm making a garment for myself. 
In the case of Kuffel, I am anticipating the hem line ending at a spot I'd rather it not for my body shape (A is for Apple). I've been intrigued by several sweaters with high-low hemlines of late (like the gorgeous Grey Space, which is in my queue!), making the front a bit on the cropped side and the back gently brushing the tush. I think this option for my Kuffel is the perfect solution, as I'll be able to style it over dresses, as well as long tops with jeans, which is perfect for my existing wardrobe!
Sunsent over San Bernardino 
Alexis recommends approximately 8-14" [20.25 - 35.5 cm] of positive ease for this top, which is a generous range, but I've found that going beyond 10" [25.5 cm] of positive ease for my 50" [127 cm] bust things start to get a bit....excessive for my taste. Especially considering the lovely large graphic running over my already ample bust. So I'm probably going with the 58" [147.25 cm] finished chest for my Kuffel, so it's not too big, but still extremely cozy. 
Look at all that beautifully bold colorwork! 
It is well established that by preferred colors are black, gray, and dark black, but I'm going to attempt to branch out a bit with this design...maybe? Here are my color combos, and the struggle has been real to choose. 

The Choices


Charcoal + Ash

Red Feather + Fawn

Ash + Aspen

Evergreen + Fawn

What do you think? I'm leaning towards Charcoal + Ash, but I also love Red Feather + Fawn, too. Let me know and stay tuned for more on my progress!

xo,
Meghan

    Some time ago, I received a message saying I had won an international lottery. At first, I laughed it off, but the email looked so convincing — official logos, certificates, even a phone number I could call. Out of curiosity, I contacted them, and they told me I had won a huge cash prize. The only condition was that I had to pay certain ‘processing fees’ and ‘taxes’ before the winnings could be released. It sounded a little odd, but the documents they sent looked real, and the idea of a life-changing prize clouded my judgment. I ended up sending multiple payments, each time believing I was closer to receiving my winnings. Of course, the prize never came. Eventually, the emails stopped, the phone numbers were disconnected, and I realized I had been scammed. I felt humiliated and angry with myself for falling for it. The money I lost was money I had saved for important things, and I thought it was gone forever. In my search for help, I found CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY. At first, I was hesitant — after being tricked, trusting anyone again felt impossible. But from the very first conversation, they treated me with respect and understanding. They explained how lottery scams operate and assured me they had handled similar cases before. I provided them with all the receipts, emails, and transaction details I had. They immediately got to work, tracing the funds. Throughout the process, they kept me updated, which gave me a sense of hope I hadn’t felt since the scam happened. After weeks of effort, I received the most incredible news — CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY Recovery was able to retrieve a large part of my stolen money. Seeing it back in my account felt unreal. It was a mix of relief, gratitude, and a sense of justice. CHAINTRACE ASSET RECOVERY didn’t just help me financially; they restored my faith that good people still exist who genuinely want to help others. If you’ve fallen for a scam like this, don’t let shame keep you from seeking help. These professionals know exactly how to handle these situations and will fight to get your money back.

    TANGIBLE INFORMATION ABOUT CHRISTMAS LOAN FOR PLANNING…

    This is not a normal post that you see every day on the internet where people give fake testimonials and false information about great financial assistance. I am aware that many of you have been scammed and that fake agents have taken advantage of those seeking loans. I will not call this a normal testimonial, I will call this a situation where I am a living witness of how you can get your loan when you meet the terms and conditions of the company. It really does not matter if you have a good credit rating or government approval, all you need is a valid ID card and a valid IBAN number to be able to apply for a loan with an interest rate of 3%. The minimum amount is 1000 euros and the maximum amount that can be borrowed is 100,000,000 euros. I give you a 100% guarantee that you can get your loan through this reliable and honest company, they operate 24 hours online and provide loans to all citizens of Europe and outside Europe. They sent me a document that was checked and tested before I got the loan, so I invite anyone who needs a loan to visit them or contact them via email: michaelgardloanoffice@gmail.com
    WhatsApp for Europe: +38591560870
    WhatsApp for USA: +1 (717) 826-3251
    After contacting them, let them know that Ms. Dejana Ivica from Zagreb gave you the information. Seeing is believing and you will thank me later when you get a loan from them. I made a promise that after I get a loan from them, I will announce the good news to everyone online. If you have friends or relatives, including colleagues, you can tell them about this offer and that it is happening this CHRISTMAS TIME.
