I Could Just Weep!


After spending several hours of car knitting (I was not the driver!) and a whole football game (they pulled it off, by a Lion's whisker!) working on the first sleeve of the Aran, I realized that this pattern is "vintage" in the sense that the sleeve dimension, while spot on, is way too narrow for a 2006 sweater.

So I pulled out the needle from the half-finished appendage, sighed deeply, and started over.

I might still make it by the 25th, but it's looking seriously doubtful.

I'm so sorry. But you'll be glad you frogged and reknit. It's looking beautiful, btw.

Total bummer. My fingers are crossed that you don't hit any more snags. The whole thing is just so pretty. I can't wait to see the finished sweater.

Oh, bummer! Sounds like the kind of thing I would overlook - and probably continue to overlook up until the point that I tried on the finished sweater. Congratulate yourself that it didn't get that far.
