Yeah.... so I "finished" the Flutter Sleeve Sweater a couple of weeks ago. Except... who in their right mind would wear something that makes you look so dumpy? I mean, I've gained some weight since high school - but I swear I am not THAT wide.
I think the problem is that the top half of the sweater is too long. Plus, you can't really see it, but the way I did the neckline (converting this pattern from a cardigan to a pullover) didn't work very well, There's some very strange-looking spots right at the bottom of the V-neck. (Not exactly an area I want to draw attention to.)
What to do? LUCKILY this is knit bottom-up, so I can shorten the top without ripping the whole thing. The bad news is, with the neckline issues, I have quite a bit of reknitting to do.
Grrrr.......

Ugh! I hate it when a knit doesn't work out. All the changes will be worth it though. It's a shame to put so much effort and then never wear it.
Rah-Rah-Ree!
Kick it in the knee
Rah-Rah-Rass!
Rip it back and reknit the SOB!
(so my cheerleading skills were never that great.)
oh man, that sucks! You can do it!
