I decided to be brave and tried it on this morning. I made monkey arms, but other than that, the body seems to fit okay. I am impatient so I ordered a zipper from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zipperstop.com\">zipperstop<\/a>, and it will be delivered to my parents&#8217; address in Portland. I have to mention how much I love zipperstop. They are so helpful there! I asked about getting the zipper shortened then told him I needed a zipper that is 16.25&#8243; long. Long pause. He said, &#8220;Can&#8217;t you make a 16&#8243; zipper work? It&#8217;s only a tooth or two difference.&#8221; I could tell he was trying not to laugh. Yeah, this is what happens when I try to be precise and detail oriented!<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/portland.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"portland.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.supereggplant.com\/archives\/portland-thumb.jpg\" width=\"124\" height=\"82\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nAnyway, Portland should be fun, even though the reason I am going is to &#8220;spend time&#8221; with (hello, euphemism for BABYSIT) my father. I am still planning some fun excursions, though. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.action-hero.net\/blog\/knitblog.html\">Action Hero Melissa<\/a> and I might even venture out to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.woodlandwoolworks.com\">Woodland Woolworks<\/a>!
