because I have decided that I want to make this sweater instead:
I hate to rip out all my hard work, but in the three-plus years that have passed since I started this sweater I have lost interest in finishing it. I'm just not excited about the lattice pattern and, like I said before, I'm not expert enough to design the sleeves and armholes myself. I hate to admit it, but I've never made an adult-sized sweater with sleeves. It's about time to change that. Rip it, rip it!
I know nothing about knitting, but that lattice patterns looks really impressive. I hope you're able to make something work with it.
ReplyDeleteI've spent most of my three-year knitting career trying to avoid sleeves, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is a lovely vest going to the dogs.
ReplyDeleteBut I admire your decision no less.
I was wondering what book the new sweater you are working on is from.
ReplyDeleteAlso, a suggestions, turn that wonderful lattice pattern you made into a great throw pillow. Bind off and create a back with fabric. Buy one of the pillows at the craft store. It would be a shame to waste all that work. I know how long that lattice pattern takes!
MaryEllen, the sweater is the Hourglass Sweater from Joelle's book, Last-Minute Knitted Gifts. There's a knit-along for this sweater if you Google it. Cheers!
