armholes

Why is it that armholes are so much bigger than one would think? (After having done ribbing on two of them for a vest-top I'm attempting to knit.)

Same thing goes for the amount of fabric in sleeves. Not that that's an issue here, but I have found it to be an issue elsewhere.

I think I'll go to York tomorrow, barring anything drastic in the meantime. What a nice thing it is to be able to say that.

Mild irritation at people who write fics where Ichigo gets elected Captain or Commander-General due to his unparalleled abilities. Alas, while Ichigo may be a marvellous warrior, his ability as a leader is so far . . . um, well, it's very inspirational. Let's put it that way. And then go into the "all charge together" model.

"It is, to be sure, easier to parry a cut to the head when one's opponent announces that he is about to make one. But often, I have found, my opponents fail to inform me of their precise intentions in a timely manner. This has happened so frequently, in fact, that I have taken to keeping the nature of my own strokes a secret, as a sort of revenge."
