Thanks everyone!
I have a hard time knitting things to fit since I'm always gaining or losing weight, but I think this will do for now (the losing is going kind of slowly...)
Knitaddict, regarding the neckline. I didn't try to raise the "V" even though there are instructions to do so, I was afraid to get that far and then mess it up. And, the V was of course a bit on the low side. I did one row of single crochet completely around, starting at the center back, doing a decrease at the point of the V. After starting around a second time, at about 8 stitches from the point of the V I started pulling an extra loop through and then skipping 1 stitch. At 8 stitches *past* the V I turned the whole sheebang around and went back the other way, continuing to do the extra loop/skip thing to the same distance past the point of the V. Then turned the whole thing back around again. This time I pulled 3 extra loops through and skipped 2 stitches until I got to the point where I had turned the first time, then went on to finish the second single crochet row. Gives it a bit of a decorative look, although I can barely crochet well enough to do the single crochet and have no idea what the proper names are for the stitches I used.
It was fun, though!
