Wow. I am pretty pissed at this point. Knitted the back of the sweater - too big. Ripped and knitted it again - soooooo small. Added side pieces (ack!) - fits better. KNITTING UNEVEN?? Look at this. Just LOOK!
See my finger there in the left hand corner? See how the front is coming up over the back? Then see the other side - upper right hand corner, how there is a bit of ripped knitting there? See how the ripped knitting doesn’t meet up with the back? Those two sides of the front, they are supposed to be even with the back two sides. Neither one of them are! ARGH!
Justin suggested that I not worry about it, and give the sweater to him. He would wear it even if it is a bit crooked. Sweet of him. But I said no.
He then suggested knitting a triangle and sewing it in there (he is clearly less of a perfectionist than I am) I said no.
He asked if I was going to frog it. I said yes.
And I did. Then I washed it, and put little hooks in the wall so that I can look at it.
And think about how much I am dreading trying again. I think I have depressed knitters syndrom (DKS). I think I need to knit something very easy to bring my confidence back up.
Handspun. Who would have thought.
