It is interesting that at 159 lb a size 10 almost fits - back in the days when I weighed 147 lb I was a 16 at first, then when I left home and was more active I went down to a 14 but did not lose weight.

Of course those were the UK sizes at the time, but it makes me feel better about my size now to know that the US sizes have to be larger than I have been thinking they are.

I am busy making hats at the moment.
