Sweater Changes
For a few days I've been doubting this sweater. The front panels especially were on my mind and I couldn't decide if my doubts were truly something of relevance. Well this morning, with a fresh mind and a good night's sleep, I've decided that this sweater is just not for me. My knitting history is decades old and I know if I'm not completely happy while it's being knitted up there is a slim chance I'll love it off the needles. I loved the construction of this sweater and the shoulder fit and length is perfection. My gauge was spot on-love when that happens. The front panels have too much fabric and not enough drape and hit in all the wrong places on my body. No amount of blocking in the world is going to change that. My doubts started when I knit the ribbing of the panels and then the ribbing of the neck line. Last night I was going to start ripping but I forced myself to sleep on that drastic decision. Altering the pattern requires ripping
