Need a reality check

I really shouldn't have bought the knitting magazine.

And I really shouldn't have looked at a particular pattern.

I would have to alter it to be at least six inches longer, but the measurements could hold it. And it is knitting from a chart which I loathe. Of course it is in 4ply which I loathe knitting with almost as much - make it chunky and quick! And I am not entirely sure I can master the stitches.

But it is such a lovely, lovely top in a style I love but can't seem to buy and ideal for summer...

Anyone want to bet how long before I start pricing up 4ply?
