I beg to differ, I’ve got a few tears here…
So look, I’m almost done with the EZ-V neck sweater. Unfortunately I’ve run out of yarn and can’t get more. Yup, despite buying what I thought was enough (almost 1100 yards of worsted weight), I don’t have enough to finish the back neck and make a neck ribbing. Dude! Sucks!
So I’m going to put on my big girl pants and frog this almost sweater. I initially wanted to add some pink accents to this sweater but went with just a solid, now I’m going to add some pink to stretch the yardage. The good part is my favorite color combo is pink and green so I’ll get a combo sweater I should like.
So today I will watch football and rip out my sweater. Such is life so I’ll try to take this with patience and grace. Sigh. And my 49ers better win, otherwise I’m eating a shit ton of xmas cookies.
Edited to add: 49ers lost in OT to a crap team they can’t seem to beat. I am now mainlining Trader Joe’s Pfeffernusse.
Oh, no!
Ouch, I feel your pain! What about just snipping off the ribbing & using your pink for the ribbing on all ends? That would save the pain of a total frog…
I am laughing but I am also understanding your pain(s).
Here is what sucks. The shaping in that sweater looks amazing. Like a pro. What about connecting green to pink in a band of simple fair isle a la the vest I’ve got on the needles now?
My sympathies on both the sweater and the football. The Bears also lost. I didn’t touch my knitting today so nothing could go wrong there!
I’m so sorry about the sweater, sweetie. Hopefully, the new version will be utterly fabulous and worth all the work.
dang that is the WORST. stupid 49ers letting you down.
ps hahaha I meant the knitting of course!
Aw, I’m sorry about the sweater setback and the game. But thanks for reminding me to get me some pfeffernusse!
Bummer. Did you consider cutting off the bottoms of each sleeve and reknitting a bit of ribbing to make 3/4 sleeves, then using the extra for the neck?
No good news here. Except that TJs has Pfeffernusse! Not at my store, sadly.
